Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-Bromo-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl Chloride.
CATO supplies 2-Bromo-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl Chloride (CAS 480438-96-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H5BrClF3, MW 273.48 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to fluorine/chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-Bromo-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl Chloride is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 273.48 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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 manufactures 2-Bromo-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl Chloride 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.
