CATO supplies 2-Hydroxyethyl benzyl sulfide (CAS 3878-41-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H12OS, MW 168.26 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Based on its molecular formula C9H12OS, 2-Hydroxyethyl benzyl sulfide contains sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 168.26 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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), 2-Hydroxyethyl benzyl sulfide 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.
