Description

Paraquat-Methyl-14C Dichloride is a carbon-14 radiolabeled analog of the herbicide paraquat, specifically designed for advanced research and analytical applications. This compound is critical for conducting precise metabolic, environmental fate, and residue studies, providing invaluable tracer capabilities. It is primarily utilized by agrochemical research institutions, environmental testing laboratories, and regulatory science organizations requiring high-specific-activity materials for sensitive detection and quantification.

Application

• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Used in agricultural and toxicological research to study the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of paraquat in biological systems.
• Environmental Fate Studies: Essential for tracking the degradation, persistence, and mobility of paraquat in soil, water, and plant systems under controlled conditions.
• Residue Analysis Method Development: Serves as an internal standard or tracer in the development and validation of highly sensitive analytical methods (e.g., LC-MS/MS) for paraquat detection.
• Mechanistic Biochemical Research: Enables investigation into the molecular mechanisms of action and oxidative stress pathways induced by paraquat.
• Regulatory Compliance and Safety Testing: Supports studies required for regulatory submissions concerning product safety, environmental impact, and residue tolerance levels.

Quality Control

Every batch of Paraquat-Methyl-14C Dichloride is manufactured and analyzed under strict quality protocols to ensure high radiochemical purity and specific activity. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing radiochemical purity, specific activity, chemical purity, and solvent content are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at recommended temperatures (typically 2-8°C or as specified on the label) to maintain stability. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the product should be stored in a dry environment. Handle and store in accordance with all local, national, and international regulations for radioactive materials.
