Description

Dimethyl Ethylenebisdithiocarbamate Standard is a high-purity analytical reference material, essential for quality control and research applications. This compound serves as a critical standard for the accurate quantification and identification of related dithiocarbamate fungicides and their metabolites. It is primarily required by analytical laboratories, agrochemical manufacturers, and regulatory bodies for method validation, calibration, and compliance testing. The material is supplied with comprehensive documentation to ensure traceability and reliability in sensitive analytical workflows.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified reference material (CRM) for HPLC, GC, and LC-MS/MS analysis.
• Agrochemical Quality Control: Calibration and validation standard for assaying mancozeb, maneb, and other ethylenebisdithiocarbamate (EBDC) fungicides.
• Environmental Monitoring: Used in the analysis of dithiocarbamate residues in soil, water, and agricultural products.
• Food Safety Testing: Critical for regulatory testing labs to monitor maximum residue limits (MRLs) of EBDC fungicides on crops.
• Metabolite Studies: Research into the degradation pathways and metabolic products of dithiocarbamate pesticides.
• Method Development: Serves as a pure substance for developing and optimizing new analytical methods in compliance with ISO, EPA, and EU guidelines.

Quality Control

This analytical standard is produced under strict quality management to ensure identity, purity, and stability. Each batch is fully characterized using a suite of orthogonal techniques including NMR, mass spectrometry, and chromatographic methods. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided, detailing the analytical results, traceability, and recommended storage conditions. Our quality system supports compliance with ISO/IEC 17025 and relevant pharmacopeial guidelines for reference materials.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed immediately after use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. For long-term stability, consider storage under an inert atmosphere.
