Description

Metaldehyde-D16 is a deuterium-labeled isotopologue of the molluscicide metaldehyde, specifically designed for use as an internal standard in advanced analytical chemistry. This high-purity compound is essential for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of quantitative analyses, particularly in residue testing and environmental monitoring. It is a critical tool for analytical laboratories in the agrochemical, environmental science, and food safety industries seeking to meet stringent regulatory compliance for data quality.

Application

• Internal Standard for LC-MS/MS and GC-MS: Primary use as a quantitative reference standard in mass spectrometry for the analysis of metaldehyde residues.
• Agrochemical Research & Development: Used in metabolism studies, environmental fate studies, and method development for pesticide analysis.
• Environmental Monitoring: Critical for the accurate quantification of metaldehyde in water, soil, and plant samples to assess environmental contamination.
• Food Safety Testing: Employed in laboratories to detect and quantify pesticide residues in food crops to ensure compliance with Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs).
• Forensic and Regulatory Analysis: Supports high-confidence testing for regulatory bodies and forensic laboratories requiring definitive identification and measurement.
• Pharmaceutical Impurity Profiling: Potential use in trace analysis and stability studies where metaldehyde-related compounds may be present.
