2-Methylpyrene CAS 3442-78-2 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 2-Methylpyrene 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.

CATO supplies 2-Methylpyrene (CAS 3442-78-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C17H12, MW 216.28 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 2-Methylpyrene (C17H12) 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 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.
