Chemical Structure

Isoprene CAS 78-79-5 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

Isoprene (CAS 78-79-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H8 and a molecular weight of 68.12 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C5H8, Isoprene contains an organic framework; these features give the compound characteristic molecular-ion distribution patterns in mass spectrometry. The molecular weight of 68.12 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry.

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.
