The occurrence of Perfluoro-(2,5,8-trimethyl-3,6,9-trioxadodecanoic)acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies Perfluoro-(2,5,8-trimethyl-3,6,9-trioxadodecanoic)acid (CAS 65294-16-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12HF23O5, MW 662.10 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Perfluoro-(2,5,8-trimethyl-3,6,9-trioxadodecanoic)acid is typically white to off-white amorphous powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 662.10 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.
