Trichloroethylene CAS 79-01-6 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Trichloroethylene (CAS 79-01-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C2HCl3, MW 131.39 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C2HCl3, Trichloroethylene contains chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic molecular-ion distribution patterns in mass spectrometry. The molecular weight of 131.39 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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), Trichloroethylene 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.
