Description

Atrazine-2-Hydroxy is a key metabolite and degradation product of the widely used herbicide atrazine. This compound is of significant importance for environmental monitoring, toxicological research, and analytical method development. It serves as a critical reference standard for laboratories in the agrochemical, environmental testing, and regulatory compliance sectors, enabling accurate detection and quantification of atrazine residues in soil and water systems.

Application

• Environmental Analysis Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for calibrating equipment and validating analytical methods (e.g., HPLC, GC-MS) in water and soil testing.
• Toxicology and Metabolism Studies: Essential for researching the environmental fate, metabolic pathways, and ecotoxicological impact of atrazine in biological systems.
• Regulatory Compliance Testing: Supports laboratories in meeting regulatory requirements for monitoring pesticide residues and their degradation products in the environment.
• Agrochemical Research & Development: Used in R&D to study the degradation profile and persistence of atrazine, aiding in the development of safer herbicide formulations.
• Quality Control in Manufacturing: Employed as an impurity standard to ensure the purity and consistency of atrazine production batches.
• Academic Research: A vital reagent for university and institutional research projects focused on environmental chemistry and pollutant behavior.
