As a certified reference material (CRM), 4a-Methyl-1,2,3,4,9,10-hexahydrophenanthrene (cis/trans) 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.
4a-Methyl-1,2,3,4,9,10-hexahydrophenanthrene (cis/trans) (CAS 60795-82-6), molecular formula C15H20 and molecular weight 200.32 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to an aromatic ring system, 4a-Methyl-1,2,3,4,9,10-hexahydrophenanthrene (cis/trans) is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 200.32 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
