(-)-Isobicyclogermacrenal (CAS 73256-82-3), molecular formula C15H22O and molecular weight 218.33 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, (-)-Isobicyclogermacrenal is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 218.33 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).
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 manufactures (-)-Isobicyclogermacrenal 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.
