Description

Sudan Iv-D6 is a deuterium-labeled analog of the synthetic azo dye Sudan IV, specifically designed for use as an internal standard in quantitative mass spectrometry. This stable isotope-labeled compound is essential for ensuring analytical accuracy and precision in complex matrices. It is primarily utilized by analytical chemists and researchers in food safety, environmental monitoring, and forensic toxicology laboratories for the reliable detection and quantification of Sudan IV dye contaminants.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Used as a quantitative reference in LC-MS/MS and GC-MS methods to correct for matrix effects and instrument variability.
• Food Safety Analysis: Critical for the accurate detection and quantification of the banned colorant Sudan IV in food products like chili powders, palm oil, and spices.
• Metabolite Tracing & Pharmacokinetic Studies: Employed in research to trace the metabolic pathways and absorption of Sudan dyes in biological systems.
• Forensic and Regulatory Testing: Supports method development and validation in official control laboratories for compliance with food adulteration regulations (e.g., EU Regulation 2023/915).
• Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC): Serves as a critical component in high-precision analytical workflows to ensure method robustness and data reliability.
• Environmental Monitoring: Applied in methods analyzing environmental samples for dye contamination from industrial discharges.
