Description

γ-Hch 13C6 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of γ-hexachlorocyclohexane (γ-HCH, Lindane), where six carbon atoms are replaced with the carbon-13 isotope. This compound is an essential internal standard for the precise and accurate quantification of γ-HCH in complex matrices using advanced analytical techniques. It is primarily required by environmental testing laboratories, regulatory agencies, and research institutions conducting trace-level analysis of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) to ensure data integrity and meet stringent compliance standards.

Application

• Internal Standard for GC-MS/LC-MS Analysis: Critical for the quantification of γ-HCH (Lindane) in environmental, food, and biological samples.
• Environmental Monitoring: Used in the analysis of soil, water, and air samples for pesticide residue monitoring and regulatory compliance.
• Food Safety Testing: Ensures accurate measurement of Lindane residues in agricultural products, ensuring compliance with maximum residue limits (MRLs).
• Clinical and Toxicological Research: Facilitates precise studies on the metabolism, bioaccumulation, and toxicokinetics of γ-HCH.
• Method Development and Validation: Serves as a key component in developing and validating robust analytical methods for organochlorine pesticides.
• Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC): Employed in laboratory proficiency testing and as a calibration standard to ensure analytical accuracy and reproducibility.
