Description

Fluoranthene-3-14C is a carbon-14 radiolabeled derivative of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) fluoranthene, specifically labeled at the 3-position. This compound is an essential tool for advanced environmental fate, metabolic, and pharmacokinetic studies, providing a reliable radioactive tracer for precise analytical detection. It is primarily required by research institutions, environmental testing laboratories, and pharmaceutical R&D departments engaged in sophisticated analytical chemistry and toxicology research.

Application

• Environmental Fate and Metabolism Studies: Used as a radiolabeled tracer to investigate the degradation, transformation, and bioaccumulation of PAHs in soil, water, and biological systems.
• Pharmacokinetic and ADME Research: Enables the detailed tracking of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) profiles of fluoranthene and related compounds in preclinical models.
• Analytical Method Development: Serves as a critical internal standard or reference material in the development and validation of sensitive analytical methods like LC-MS/MS or radio-HPLC.
• Toxicological Research: Facilitates studies on the mechanisms of PAH toxicity, including DNA adduct formation and metabolic activation pathways.
• Biodegradation and Remediation Research: Used to monitor and quantify the efficiency of microbial or chemical remediation processes targeting PAH contaminants.
