Description

2,3,3',4,5,5'-Hexachlorobiphenyl-2',4',6'-D3 is a deuterated isotopologue of a hexachlorinated biphenyl congener, serving as a critical analytical standard. This compound is essential for high-precision environmental and toxicological research, enabling accurate quantification and tracing of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) metabolites in complex matrices. It is primarily utilized by analytical laboratories, environmental testing facilities, and research institutions focused on persistent organic pollutant (POP) analysis, method development, and regulatory compliance.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry: Used as a deuterated internal standard in GC-MS and LC-MS/MS for the precise quantification of native PCB congeners in environmental samples.
• Environmental Fate Studies: Employed in research to track the degradation, metabolism, and bioaccumulation pathways of PCBs in soil, water, and biological systems.
• Method Development & Validation: Critical for developing and validating analytical methods according to EPA, ISO, and other international standards for PCB analysis.
• Food Safety & Regulatory Testing: Used in the analysis of PCBs in food, feed, and agricultural products to ensure compliance with safety regulations.
• Toxicological Research: Facilitates studies on the pharmacokinetics, toxicity, and health impacts of specific PCB congeners.
• Quality Control/Assurance: Serves as a reference material in laboratory QC protocols to ensure the accuracy and reliability of analytical data.
• Forensic Analysis: Aids in source identification and apportionment of PCB contamination in environmental forensic investigations.
