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.
2,6,10-Trimethyl-2,6,10-dodecatriene (CAS 7681-88-1), molecular formula C15H26 and molecular weight 206.37 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to an organic framework, 2,6,10-Trimethyl-2,6,10-dodecatriene is typically white to off-white low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 206.37 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
