Description
Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Octachloronapthalene.
Octachloronapthalene (CAS 2234-13-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10Cl8 and a molecular weight of 403.73 g/mol.
Owing to chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Octachloronapthalene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 403.73 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Octachloronapthalene meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
