Description

Toxaphene Congener Parlar 62 is a specific, analytically defined component of the complex technical mixture historically known as toxaphene. This high-purity congener standard is critical for accurate environmental monitoring and toxicological research, providing a reliable reference point for quantification and identification. It is primarily required by analytical laboratories, environmental testing facilities, and research institutions engaged in the study of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and legacy pesticide residues.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified standard for the calibration and quantification of toxaphene residues in environmental samples via GC-MS or GC-ECD.
• Environmental Monitoring: Essential for tracking and assessing the persistence and bioaccumulation of specific toxaphene congeners in soil, water, sediment, and biota.
• Food Safety & Regulatory Testing: Used in the analysis of food products, particularly seafood and animal fats, to ensure compliance with international maximum residue limits (MRLs) for chlorinated pesticides.
• Toxicology & Metabolism Studies: Serves as a pure substance for investigating the environmental fate, metabolic pathways, and specific toxic effects of individual toxaphene components.
• Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA): Employed in laboratory proficiency testing and method validation to ensure the accuracy and precision of analytical data for toxaphene.
• Forensic Environmental Analysis: Aids in source identification and fingerprinting of pollutant mixtures in environmental forensic investigations.

Quality Control

Our Toxaphene Congener Parlar 62 is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure identity, purity, and stability. Each batch is characterized using advanced chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques, including GC-MS and NMR, to confirm congener specificity and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay purity, impurity profile, and chromatographic data is provided with every shipment to support your analytical integrity and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at 2-8°C (refrigerated) or as indicated on the label/certificate of analysis. This compound is light-sensitive (store away from light) and easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere); prolonged exposure to air, light, or elevated temperatures should be avoided to maintain stability and purity.
