The occurrence of Dibenzo[a,e][8]annulen-5(6H)-one is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies Dibenzo[a,e][8]annulen-5(6H)-one (CAS 3111-86-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H12O, MW 220.27 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of Dibenzo[a,e][8]annulen-5(6H)-one (C16H12O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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), Dibenzo[a,e][8]annulen-5(6H)-one 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.
