As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 5-bromo-4-chloro-2-methoxybenzoate 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.
CATO supplies Methyl 5-bromo-4-chloro-2-methoxybenzoate (CAS 951885-11-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H8BrClO3, MW 279.52 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of Methyl 5-bromo-4-chloro-2-methoxybenzoate (C9H8BrClO3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional 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).
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.
