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.
CATO supplies 6-Bromo-2-(chloromethyl)benzimidazole Hydrochloride (CAS 89218-87-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H6BrClN2HCl, MW 281.96 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of 6-Bromo-2-(chloromethyl)benzimidazole Hydrochloride (C8H6BrClN2HCl) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine/bromine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).
As a certified reference material (CRM), 6-Bromo-2-(chloromethyl)benzimidazole Hydrochloride 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.
