Description

Phorate Sulfone is a key organophosphorus compound and an important metabolite and degradation product of the insecticide phorate. This high-purity chemical is essential for research, analytical, and industrial applications requiring a defined reference standard. It is primarily utilized by professionals in agrochemical research, environmental monitoring, and analytical chemistry for method development, residue analysis, and toxicological studies.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified standard for the accurate quantification of phorate and its metabolites in environmental and agricultural samples via GC-MS or HPLC.
• Environmental Fate Studies: Critical for researching the degradation pathways, persistence, and mobility of phorate in soil and water systems.
• Metabolite Identification: Used in toxicology and metabolism studies to identify and characterize phorate sulfone as a major oxidative metabolite in biological systems.
• Quality Control & Assurance: Serves as an in-house standard for manufacturers and testing laboratories to ensure the accuracy and reliability of analytical methods for pesticide residue analysis.
• Regulatory Compliance Testing: Employed in testing laboratories to verify compliance with maximum residue limits (MRLs) set for food and environmental safety.
• Research & Development: Used in the synthesis and study of novel organophosphorus compounds or for investigating enzymatic oxidation mechanisms.
