Description

Chlordan Technical Mixture Pestanal is a high-purity analytical standard of the organochlorine insecticide chlordane, primarily used for quality control and research purposes. This product is essential for laboratories requiring a reliable reference material to ensure accurate analysis, method validation, and regulatory compliance testing. It is critically needed by analytical chemists, environmental testing facilities, and agrochemical manufacturers engaged in residue analysis, method development, and quality assurance programs.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified reference material (CRM) for calibrating instruments and validating analytical methods in compliance with ISO/IEC 17025.
• Environmental Monitoring: Critical for the accurate quantification of chlordane residues in soil, water, and air samples as part of environmental impact studies and regulatory monitoring.
• Food Safety Testing: Used in laboratories to detect and measure pesticide residues in food commodities to ensure compliance with maximum residue limits (MRLs) set by global authorities like the EPA and EFSA.
• Method Development & Validation: Serves as a key component in developing and verifying new chromatographic (GC, GC-MS, HPLC) methods for organochlorine pesticide analysis.
• Quality Control (QC) in Manufacturing: Employed by agrochemical producers to benchmark the purity and composition of technical-grade chlordane or to analyze degradation products.
• Toxicological & Ecotoxicological Research: Provides a well-characterized substance for studies on the environmental fate, persistence, and toxicological profile of organochlorine compounds.
