Description

Benzo(A)Anthracene D12 is a deuterated internal standard of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) benzo(a)anthracene, where twelve hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium. This isotopic labeling is critical for ensuring accuracy and reliability in quantitative analytical methods, particularly mass spectrometry. It is an essential reagent for researchers and quality control laboratories in environmental monitoring, food safety, and petroleum analysis who require precise quantification of PAH contaminants.

Application

• Internal standard for the quantitative analysis of benzo(a)anthracene and related PAHs via GC-MS or LC-MS.
• Method development and validation in environmental testing for soil, water, and air pollution studies.
• Quality control and assurance in food safety laboratories for detecting PAH residues in smoked foods and oils.
• Calibration standard in petrochemical and fuel analysis to monitor PAH content.
• Use in toxicological and metabolic research as a stable-isotope tracer.
• Reference material for regulatory compliance testing aligned with EPA, EU, and other international standards.
