Description

Benz[A]Anthracene-7-Acetic Acid-13C2 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of a key polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) derivative, specifically labeled with carbon-13 at two positions. This compound matters as a critical internal standard and reference material for advanced analytical techniques, enabling precise quantification and metabolic pathway tracing in complex matrices. It is primarily needed by researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, environmental, and toxicology sectors for method development and validation in mass spectrometry.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Used as a quantitative reference in LC-MS and GC-MS analysis for the accurate measurement of benz[a]anthracene metabolites in biological and environmental samples.
• Metabolic Pathway Studies: Enables the tracing of metabolic products and degradation pathways of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in pharmacological and toxicological research.
• Environmental Analysis: Serves as a high-purity standard for monitoring and quantifying PAH contaminants and their derivatives in soil, water, and air samples.
• Pharmaceutical Impurity Profiling: Aids in the identification and quantification of potential genotoxic impurities (PGIs) in active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and drug products.
• Biomarker Research: Facilitates the development of sensitive assays for PAH-DNA adducts and other biomarkers of exposure in clinical and forensic toxicology.
• Certified Reference Material (CRM): Acts as a key component in the preparation of certified calibration standards for regulatory compliance testing.
