Description

Metazachlor-2-Hydroxy is a key metabolite and degradation product of the widely used chloroacetamide herbicide, Metazachlor. This compound is of significant importance for environmental monitoring, analytical reference, and research into the environmental fate and behavior of its parent molecule. It serves as a critical standard for laboratories in the agrochemical, environmental testing, and regulatory compliance sectors, enabling accurate quantification and study of herbicide residues.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified reference material (CRM) for calibrating equipment and validating analytical methods in residue testing.
• Environmental Fate Studies: Research into the degradation pathways, persistence, and mobility of Metazachlor in soil and water systems.
• Metabolite Identification: Used in metabolic studies to identify and quantify the transformation products of Metazachlor in plants and organisms.
• Quality Control & Method Development: Essential for developing and verifying HPLC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS methods in agrochemical quality control laboratories.
• Regulatory Compliance Testing: Supports testing for compliance with maximum residue limits (MRLs) set by global regulatory bodies like the EPA and EFSA.
• Toxicological Research: Aids in assessing the ecotoxicological profile and potential effects of Metazachlor degradation products.
