Description

Methiocarb Sulfoxide is a key metabolite and environmental degradation product of the carbamate insecticide methiocarb. This compound is of significant interest for analytical and research purposes, particularly in environmental monitoring and toxicology studies. It serves as a crucial reference standard for laboratories in the agrochemical, environmental science, and regulatory compliance sectors to accurately detect, quantify, and understand the fate of methiocarb in various matrices.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a high-purity certified standard for calibrating equipment and validating methods in gas chromatography (GC) and liquid chromatography (LC) systems.
• Environmental Fate Studies: Critical for researching the degradation pathways, persistence, and mobility of methiocarb in soil and water systems.
• Metabolite Identification: Used in toxicological and metabolic studies to identify and quantify methiocarb sulfoxide in biological samples from plants, animals, or insects.
• Quality Control & Assurance: Employed by manufacturers of methiocarb and related formulations to monitor product quality and impurity profiles.
• Regulatory Compliance Testing: Essential for laboratories conducting residue analysis to ensure compliance with maximum residue limits (MRLs) set by global food safety and environmental agencies.
• Research & Development: Serves as a building block or intermediate in academic and industrial research focused on pesticide chemistry and metabolite synthesis.
