As a certified reference material (CRM), 3,3'-Dimethyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2,2'-dicarboxylic acid 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.
3,3'-Dimethyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2,2'-dicarboxylic acid (CAS 93012-35-2), molecular formula C16H14O4 and molecular weight 270.28 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, 3,3'-Dimethyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2,2'-dicarboxylic acid (C16H14O4) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 270.28 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).
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.
