Chemical Structure

Cyclohexane CAS 527-31-1 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Cyclohexane.

CATO supplies Cyclohexane (CAS 527-31-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6O6, MW 168.06 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carbohydrate-derived structure, Cyclohexane is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 168.06 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
