Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2,6-Bis(2-hydroxy-5-bromobenzyl)-4-bromophenol.
2,6-Bis(2-hydroxy-5-bromobenzyl)-4-bromophenol (CAS 35280-40-1), molecular formula C20H15Br3O3 and molecular weight 543.04 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Based on its molecular formula C20H15Br3O3, 2,6-Bis(2-hydroxy-5-bromobenzyl)-4-bromophenol contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 543.04 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).
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), 2,6-Bis(2-hydroxy-5-bromobenzyl)-4-bromophenol 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.
