Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Pcb No. 145.
CATO supplies Pcb No. 145 (CAS 74472-40-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H4Cl6, MW 360.88 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Pcb No. 145 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 360.88 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.
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 Pcb No. 145 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.
