CATO supplies 2-Bromo-4,4'-di-tert-Butyl-1,1'-biphenyl (CAS 70728-89-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C20H25Br, MW 345.32 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
2-Bromo-4,4'-di-tert-Butyl-1,1'-biphenyl (C20H25Br) contains bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Bromo-4,4'-di-tert-Butyl-1,1'-biphenyl 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.
