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 supplies Poly(dimethylsiloxane-co-diphenylsiloxane), dihydroxy terminated (CAS 68951-93-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H30O5Si4, MW 438.77 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Poly(dimethylsiloxane-co-diphenylsiloxane), dihydroxy terminated (C18H30O5Si4) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
CATO manufactures Poly(dimethylsiloxane-co-diphenylsiloxane), dihydroxy terminated 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.
