Description

Atrazine-Desethyl-2-Hydroxy is a key metabolite and degradation product of the widely used herbicide atrazine. This compound is of significant importance for environmental monitoring, toxicological studies, and analytical method development. It serves as a critical reference standard for researchers and laboratories in the agrochemical, environmental science, and regulatory compliance sectors.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified standard for the quantification and confirmation of atrazine metabolites in environmental samples via HPLC, GC-MS, or LC-MS.
• Environmental Fate Studies: Used in research to track the degradation pathways, persistence, and mobility of atrazine in soil and water systems.
• Toxicology and Ecotoxicology: Essential for assessing the toxicity, bioaccumulation, and ecological impact of atrazine breakdown products.
• Method Development and Validation: Critical for developing, calibrating, and validating analytical methods in compliance with EPA, EU, and other regulatory guidelines.
• Quality Control in Manufacturing: Employed to monitor impurity profiles and ensure the quality of atrazine-based herbicide formulations.
• Drinking Water and Food Safety Testing: Used as a standard in assays designed to detect pesticide residues to ensure public health safety.
