General description

Anthracene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon often formed by incomplete combustion of organic materials.
This compound is listed in the SVHC (Substances of very high concern) candidate list of ECHA (European Chemicals Agency)

Application

Anthracene may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in aqueous solution by synchronous fluorimetry.
Anthracene has been shown to be soluble in a variety of binary and ternary mixtures of cyclohexanone, ethyl acetate, and methanol .
Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.
