Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 4H-Cyclopenta[def]phenanthren-4-one.
CATO supplies 4H-Cyclopenta[def]phenanthren-4-one (CAS 5737-13-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H8O, MW 204.22 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Structurally, 4H-Cyclopenta[def]phenanthren-4-one (C15H8O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 12.0, corresponding to approximately 12 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 204.22 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
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), 4H-Cyclopenta[def]phenanthren-4-one 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.
