Calcium Carbide CAS 75-20-7 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Calcium Carbide 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.

Calcium Carbide (CAS 75-20-7), molecular formula CaC2 and molecular weight 64.10 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Calcium Carbide (CaC2) contains an organic framework. Its physicochemical properties are representative of its class; 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).

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.
