Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including (2-fluorophenyl)acetaldehyde.
(2-fluorophenyl)acetaldehyde (CAS 75321-85-6), molecular formula C8H7FO and molecular weight 138.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, (2-fluorophenyl)acetaldehyde is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 138.14 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), (2-fluorophenyl)acetaldehyde 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.
