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.
Benzo[a]pyrene-7-d (CAS 68041-22-5), molecular formula C20H11D and molecular weight 253.32 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of Benzo[a]pyrene-7-d (C20H11D) is characterized by deuterium isotope labeling, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
