Description
(-)-alpha-Cedrene is a sesquiterpene hydrocarbon supplied as a ROTICHROM® GC reference substance for gas chromatography. It is defined by CAS number 469-61-4, empirical formula C₁₅H₂₄ and molar mass 204,35 g/mol, enabling reliable identification and calibration in GC methods targeting cedarwood-related and other terpene analytes. Physical data include density 0,93 g/cm³, flash point 103 °C and boiling point 261 to 262 °C. The material is packed as 100 mg in plastic, a practical quantity for reference collections and standard preparation. With EG number 207-418-4, this grade from manufacturer Carl ROTH supports qualitative and quantitative chromatographic work in natural-product, fragrance and essential-oil analysis. Laboratories can employ it for peak confirmation, retention indexing and method development where a characterised alpha-cedrene standard is required. Apply established GC handling practices for volatile organic reference substances and consult safety documentation before use.
This article is part of Chromatography standards (GC, HPLC, pesticides), in Analytical standards & reference materials.

Questions about (-)-alpha-Cedrene, ROTICHROM® GC, 100 mg, plastic
What is this article?
(-)-alpha-Cedrene, ROTICHROM® GC, 100 mg, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Chromatography standards (GC, HPLC, pesticides), inside Analytical standards & reference materials, in Lab chemicals.
A chromatography standard is the substance, or the mix, injected so a peak can be named and quantified. Pesticide mixes, residual-solvent mixes and single-compound standards are different articles. The concentration and the solvent are the specification. The solvent has to be one the method may contain.
A reference material is the article against which another result is compared. Its value is stated, and the uncertainty of that value is part of the product. An ICP or ion standard is a solution of known concentration. A volumetric standard is for titration. A chromatography standard is the peak you match. The grade names, including pharmacopoeia and ASTM, say which impurities were limited. Identity is checked on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Medicinal grades follow the European Pharmacopoeia and USP.
