Description

Phenanthrene (13C6) is a stable isotope-labeled analog of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) phenanthrene, where six carbon atoms are replaced with the 13C isotope. This compound is an essential internal standard and reference material for precise quantitative analysis in environmental, forensic, and metabolic research. It is primarily used by analytical laboratories, research institutions, and quality control departments in industries requiring high-accuracy trace analysis of PAHs.

Application

• Internal Standard for GC-MS/LC-MS: Used for the accurate quantification of native phenanthrene and related PAHs in complex matrices.
• Environmental Analysis: Critical for monitoring PAH contamination in soil, water, air particulates, and industrial waste to meet regulatory standards.
• Metabolic Tracing Studies: Employed in biomedical and pharmacological research to track the metabolic fate and transformation of PAHs in biological systems.
• Forensic and Petrochemical Analysis: Serves as a reference standard for fingerprinting fuel spills, analyzing petroleum products, and identifying pollution sources.
• Method Development and Validation: Essential for developing, calibrating, and validating analytical methods to ensure accuracy and reproducibility.
• Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC): Used in laboratory proficiency testing and as a control material to ensure the reliability of analytical data.
