epsilon-HCH CAS 6108-10-7 chemical structure

Description

epsilon-HCH (CAS 6108-10-7), molecular formula C6H6Cl6 and molecular weight 290.83 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to chlorine substitution, epsilon-HCH is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 290.83 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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
