Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-Ethyl-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroanthracene-9,10-diol.
CATO supplies 2-Ethyl-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroanthracene-9,10-diol (CAS 68279-55-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H22O2, MW 246.34 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 2-Ethyl-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroanthracene-9,10-diol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 246.34 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Ethyl-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroanthracene-9,10-diol 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.
