Description
Citral is an unsaturated monoterpene aldehyde reference substance in the ROTICHROM® GC grade for gas chromatography. It is specified with CAS number 5392-40-5, empirical formula C₁₀H₁₆O, molar mass 152,23 g/mol and EG number 226-394-6. Key physical values include a density of 0,89 g/cm³, a flash point of 98 °C and a boiling point of 230 °C, which help analysts set injector, oven and detector conditions for reliable GC performance. The article is packed as 1 g in glass, a practical amount for preparing calibration solutions, system suitability checks and qualitative identification of citral isomers in essential oils, flavours and fragrance matrices. Offered by manufacturer Carl ROTH as a ROTICHROM® GC reference, it supports method development and routine QC where a defined citral standard is required. Documented molecular weight, density and thermal data streamline transfer into laboratory notebooks and instrument methods. The glass primary pack protects the liquid during storage and dispensing, while the 1 g fill size suits laboratories that need chromatographic reference material without committing to bulk quantities.
