Chemical Structure

7-Methylbenz[a]anthracene CAS 2541-69-7 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO supplies 7-Methylbenz[a]anthracene (CAS 2541-69-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C19H14, MW 242.31 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 7-Methylbenz[a]anthracene (C19H14) is characterized by a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

CATO manufactures 7-Methylbenz[a]anthracene under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
