Hexabromoethane CAS 594-73-0 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Hexabromoethane 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.

Hexabromoethane (CAS 594-73-0), molecular formula C2Br6 and molecular weight 503.45 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to bromine substitution, Hexabromoethane is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 503.45 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.

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