Dodecamethylpentasiloxane CAS 540-97-6 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Dodecamethylpentasiloxane 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.

CATO supplies Dodecamethylpentasiloxane (CAS 540-97-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H36O6Si6, MW 444.92 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C12H36O6Si6, Dodecamethylpentasiloxane contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 444.92 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry.

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.
