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 supplies 3,3',5,5'-Tetraiodo-2,2',4,4',6,6'-hexamethyl-1,1'-biphenyl (CAS 37055-19-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H18I4, MW 741.95 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Structurally, 3,3',5,5'-Tetraiodo-2,2',4,4',6,6'-hexamethyl-1,1'-biphenyl (C18H18I4) contains iodine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 741.95 g/mol, it falls into the high-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
