Description

1-Hydroxychlordene is a chlorinated organic compound, specifically a hydroxylated derivative of the cyclodiene insecticide chlordene. This chemical serves as a key intermediate and reference standard in environmental and analytical chemistry. It is primarily required by research institutions, analytical laboratories, and chemical manufacturers involved in pesticide metabolite studies, environmental monitoring, and method development. The compound is supplied with a high level of purity to ensure reliable and reproducible results in sensitive applications.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Used as a certified standard for the calibration and validation of analytical instruments like GC-MS and LC-MS in pesticide residue analysis.
• Environmental Research: Critical for studying the environmental fate, degradation pathways, and metabolite profiling of legacy organochlorine pesticides like chlordane.
• Metabolite Synthesis: Acts as a key synthetic intermediate or precursor in the laboratory-scale preparation of other chlordane-related metabolites for toxicological studies.
• Quality Control: Employed by chemical manufacturers as an in-house reference material to ensure the purity and consistency of related product batches.
• Regulatory Compliance Testing: Supports testing laboratories in developing and performing assays to comply with environmental regulations concerning persistent organic pollutants (POPs).

Quality Control

Our 1-Hydroxychlordene is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for analytical applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analysis using advanced techniques including HPLC, GC-MS, and NMR to confirm identity and purity. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting the exact specifications and test results. We support traceability and compliance needs for research and regulatory purposes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep the container sealed to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. For long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere to maximize stability.
