Description

Malathion-Methoxy-14C is a carbon-14 radiolabeled analog of the widely used organophosphate insecticide, Malathion. This compound is specifically designed for advanced research and development applications, enabling precise metabolic and environmental fate studies. It is an essential tool for scientists and regulatory specialists in the agrochemical, environmental science, and pharmaceutical industries who require high-purity, isotopically labeled materials for tracer experiments.

Application

• Metabolic Pathway Studies: Used as a tracer to investigate the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of Malathion in biological systems.
• Environmental Fate Research: Critical for tracking the degradation, persistence, and movement of Malathion and its metabolites in soil, water, and plant systems.
• Analytical Method Development: Serves as an internal standard or reference material for developing and validating highly sensitive analytical methods like LC-MS/MS.
• Regulatory Toxicology: Supports safety assessments and regulatory submissions by providing definitive data on the behavior of the parent compound.
• Mode of Action Research: Facilitates studies on the specific biochemical interactions and mechanisms of insecticidal activity.
• Residue Analysis: Enables accurate quantification and identification of Malathion residues in complex matrices for compliance and monitoring programs.

Quality Control

Every batch of Malathion-Methoxy-14C is produced and analyzed under strict quality protocols to ensure exceptional chemical, radiochemical, and isotopic purity. Our quality assurance includes rigorous testing for identity, specific activity, and radiochemical purity, typically exceeding 98%. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all analytical results, including HPLC and radio-HPLC chromatograms, is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at 2-8°C or as specified on the label or COA. Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
