Chemical Structure

Perfluorooctane CAS 307-34-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Perfluorooctane is closely related to fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Perfluorooctane (CAS 307-34-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8F18, MW 438.06 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Perfluorooctane (C8F18) contains fluorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 0.0, corresponding to approximately 0 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 438.06 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

CATO manufactures Perfluorooctane 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.
