Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
CATO supplies 4-Fluoro-3-trifluoromethylbenzoic acid ethyl ester (CAS 67515-63-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H8F4O2, MW 236.16 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 4-Fluoro-3-trifluoromethylbenzoic acid ethyl ester is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 236.16 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).
CATO manufactures 4-Fluoro-3-trifluoromethylbenzoic acid ethyl ester 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.
