As a certified reference material (CRM), 7,8,9,10-Tetrahydro-benzo[a]pyren-7-ol 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.
7,8,9,10-Tetrahydro-benzo[a]pyren-7-ol (CAS 6272-55-5), molecular formula C20H16O and molecular weight 272.34 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 7,8,9,10-Tetrahydro-benzo[a]pyren-7-ol is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 272.34 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).
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.
