1,2,5-Trimethylnaphthalene CAS 641-91-8 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 1,2,5-Trimethylnaphthalene (CAS 641-91-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H14, MW 170.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

1,2,5-Trimethylnaphthalene (C13H14) contains an aromatic ring system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

CATO manufactures 1,2,5-Trimethylnaphthalene 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.
