Description

Methoxychlor-D6 is a deuterium-labeled analog of the organochlorine pesticide methoxychlor, specifically designed for use as an internal standard in analytical chemistry. This high-purity, isotopically enriched compound is essential for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of quantitative analyses, particularly in mass spectrometry. It is a critical tool for researchers and quality control laboratories in the environmental monitoring, food safety, and regulatory compliance sectors who require precise measurement and traceability.

Application

• Internal Standard for LC-MS/MS and GC-MS: Primary application for the accurate quantification of methoxychlor and its metabolites in complex matrices.
• Environmental Analysis: Used in the testing of soil, water, and air samples for pesticide residue monitoring and environmental fate studies.
• Food Safety Testing: Essential for residue analysis in agricultural products, ensuring compliance with maximum residue limits (MRLs).
• Clinical and Toxicological Research: Employed in studies investigating the bioaccumulation, metabolism, and health effects of organochlorine compounds.
• Method Development and Validation: Serves as a critical reference material for developing and validating new analytical protocols in accredited laboratories.
• Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC): Used to maintain data integrity and meet the stringent requirements of regulatory bodies like the EPA and FDA.
