Description

3-Methylbenzo[C]Phenanthrene Standard Solution is a certified reference material (CRM) of a specific methylated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), essential for analytical calibration and quality assurance. This high-purity standard solution provides the accuracy and traceability required for precise quantitative analysis in complex matrices. It is a critical tool for analytical laboratories in the environmental monitoring, petrochemical, and research sectors, where reliable PAH detection and quantification are paramount.

Application

• Analytical Method Development & Validation: Used as a primary standard to establish and validate chromatographic methods (GC, HPLC) for PAH analysis.
• Environmental Analysis: Calibration for the detection and quantification of 3-Methylbenzo[C]Phenanthrene in soil, water, and air particulate samples to assess pollution levels.
• Petroleum & Fuel Testing: Serves as a reference standard for analyzing PAH content in crude oil, refined products, and combustion emissions.
• Food Safety & Toxicology Research: Calibration standard for studying the presence and impact of alkylated PAHs in food products and biological systems.
• Quality Control (QC) in Industrial Laboratories: Ensures the accuracy and consistency of in-house testing protocols for PAH-related specifications.
• Regulatory Compliance Testing: Supports testing to meet environmental and safety regulations (e.g., EPA, EU directives) concerning PAH emissions and contamination.

Quality Control

Our 3-Methylbenzo[C]Phenanthrene Standard Solution is manufactured and certified under strict quality management systems. Each batch is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including GC-FID, GC-MS, and/or HPLC to ensure identity, purity, and concentration accuracy. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided, detailing the certified value, measurement uncertainty, traceability to primary standards, and the analytical methods used. This guarantees the reliability required for your most demanding analytical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at the recommended temperature specified on the certificate and label, typically between 2-8°C or as indicated. Due to its highly volatile nature in solution, ensure containers are securely sealed when not in use to prevent solvent evaporation and concentration change. Keep away from heat and open flame.
