Description

6-Chlorobenzo(A)Pyrene is a high-purity, halogenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) derivative, identified by CAS NO 21248-01-1. This compound is a critical reference standard and research chemical for analytical and toxicological studies, enabling precise calibration and method validation. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, environmental testing laboratories, and pharmaceutical R&D departments focused on mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, and environmental pollutant analysis.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the calibration of HPLC, GC-MS, and other analytical instruments in environmental and food safety testing.
• Toxicology Research: Serves as a key intermediate or standard in studies investigating the metabolic pathways, DNA adduct formation, and carcinogenic mechanisms of chlorinated PAHs.
• Environmental Monitoring: Employed in the quantification and risk assessment of chlorinated PAH contaminants in soil, water, air particulate matter, and industrial emissions.
• Pharmaceutical Impurity Profiling: Used in the development and validation of analytical methods to detect and quantify potentially genotoxic impurities in active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a specialized building block or intermediate in organic synthesis for developing novel compounds in material science or advanced chemical research.
• Regulatory Compliance Testing: Essential for laboratories conducting tests to comply with international regulations (e.g., EPA, EU directives) concerning persistent organic pollutants (POPs).

Quality Control

Our 6-Chlorobenzo(A)Pyrene is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and analytical applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, impurities, and analytical methods is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature, the container should be amber-colored or stored in dark conditions. Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent contamination and moisture absorption.
