Chemical Structure

1,2,4,5-Tetramethylbenzene CAS 95-93-2 chemical structure

Description

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 1,2,4,5-Tetramethylbenzene (CAS 95-93-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H14, MW 134.22 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

1,2,4,5-Tetramethylbenzene (C10H14) contains an aromatic ring system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
