The occurrence of 3,4-Dimethylbenzaldehyde is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 3,4-Dimethylbenzaldehyde (CAS 5973-71-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H10O, MW 134.18 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
3,4-Dimethylbenzaldehyde (C9H10O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. Its physicochemical properties are representative of its class; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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), 3,4-Dimethylbenzaldehyde 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.
