Description

Pyrene-13C6 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of pyrene, where six carbon atoms are replaced with the carbon-13 (13C) isotope. This compound is essential as an internal standard for quantitative analysis, enabling highly accurate and precise measurements in complex matrices by correcting for variations in sample preparation and instrument response. It is a critical tool for researchers and quality control laboratories in the environmental, pharmaceutical, and analytical chemistry sectors who require definitive data for trace-level analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Used in GC-MS and LC-MS/MS methods for the accurate quantification of native pyrene and related PAHs in environmental samples (soil, water, air particulates).
• Metabolic Tracing Studies: Employed in biomedical and pharmacological research to track the metabolic pathways and biotransformation of pyrene in biological systems.
• Method Development and Validation: Serves as a critical reference material for developing, calibrating, and validating analytical methods to meet regulatory compliance standards (e.g., EPA, ISO).
• Food Safety and Contaminant Analysis: Used in the detection and quantification of PAH contaminants in food products, such as smoked meats and oils.
• Doping Control and Forensic Analysis: Applied as a high-purity reference standard in forensic toxicology and sports doping control laboratories.
• Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC): Integral to laboratory QA/QC protocols, ensuring the reliability and reproducibility of analytical data for PAHs.
