1,2-Dihydro-benz[a]anthracene CAS 60968-08-3 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 1,2-Dihydro-benz[a]anthracene (CAS 60968-08-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H14, MW 230.30 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a polycyclic aromatic system, 1,2-Dihydro-benz[a]anthracene is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 230.30 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).

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1,2-Dihydro-benz[a]anthracene 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.
