Pcb No. 168 CAS 59291-65-5 chemical structure

Description

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

Pcb No. 168 (CAS 59291-65-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H4Cl6 and a molecular weight of 360.88 g/mol.

Owing to chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Pcb No. 168 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 360.88 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).

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.
