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.
(Z)-3-(4-isopropylphenyl)-2-methylacrylaldehyde (CAS 831-97-0), molecular formula C13H16O and molecular weight 188.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, (Z)-3-(4-isopropylphenyl)-2-methylacrylaldehyde is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 188.27 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).
As a certified reference material (CRM), (Z)-3-(4-isopropylphenyl)-2-methylacrylaldehyde 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.
