Description
CATO supplies 2-(2-chloro-6-methylphenyl)acetonitrile (CAS 76574-40-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H8ClN, MW 165.62 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
2-(2-chloro-6-methylphenyl)acetonitrile (C9H8ClN) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(2-chloro-6-methylphenyl)acetonitrile 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.
