Carbon tetrachloride

Carbon tetrachloride (CAS No: 56-23-5; Molecular Formula: CCl4; Molecular Weight: 153.82g/mol) is a volatile chlorinated solvent that is strictly regulated due to its toxicity and potential carcinogenicity. It has been historically used in chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing and may be encountered as a residual solvent or process-related impurity. Accurate detection and quantification of carbon tetrachloride at trace levels require reliable and well-characterized GC standard mixtures developed for gas chromatographic analysis.

For comprehensive method development and routine quality control, GC multicomponent standards containing carbon tetrachloride are commonly used to monitor multiple volatile impurities simultaneously. In applications requiring individual analyte accuracy, GC single component standards provide precise calibration and compound-specific response evaluation. To improve analytical accuracy and compensate for injection or matrix variability, carbon tetrachloride may be analyzed using appropriate GC internal standards or validated GC external standards, depending on method requirements. The use of high-quality carbon tetrachloride GC standards supports sensitive analysis by GC-FID and GC-MS, ensuring method reliability, regulatory compliance, and consistent impurity control.

At Manasa Life Sciences, we offer high-purity carbon tetrachloride GC standard mixtures, GC multicomponent standards, and GC single component standards, along with suitable GC internal standards and GC external standards. Our solutions are designed to support accurate calibration, validated analytical methods, and compliance with global regulatory expectations.
