Chemical Structure

HCH CAS 608-73-1 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies HCH (CAS 608-73-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H6Cl6, MW 290.83 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

HCH (C6H6Cl6) contains chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

CATO manufactures HCH 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.
