Description

Atrazine Mercapturate CAS NO 138722-96-0 is a key metabolite and analytical reference standard of the widely used herbicide atrazine. This compound is critical for environmental monitoring and toxicological studies, providing essential data for regulatory compliance and safety assessments. It is primarily required by analytical laboratories, agrochemical manufacturers, and research institutions focused on pesticide residue analysis and environmental fate studies.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified standard for the precise quantification of atrazine mercapturate in various matrices via HPLC, LC-MS, or GC-MS.
• Environmental Monitoring: Essential for testing soil, groundwater, and surface water samples to assess atrazine degradation and environmental persistence.
• Biomonitoring and Human Exposure Studies: Used in the analysis of biological samples (e.g., urine) to measure human and animal exposure to atrazine.
• Toxicology and Metabolism Research: Serves as a critical reagent in studies investigating the metabolic pathways, toxicity, and biological effects of atrazine.
• Method Development and Validation: Employed by quality control and R&D labs to develop, optimize, and validate analytical methods for pesticide residue analysis.
• Regulatory Compliance Testing: Supports testing to ensure compliance with maximum residue limits (MRLs) set by agencies like the EPA, EFSA, and other global regulatory bodies.
