Description

Lindane (13C6) is a stable isotope-labeled analog of the organochlorine pesticide lindane, where six carbon atoms are replaced with the carbon-13 isotope. This compound is an essential analytical standard for precise quantification and method development in environmental and food safety testing, ensuring accurate traceability and minimizing matrix effects. It is primarily used by analytical laboratories, research institutions, and regulatory bodies involved in mass spectrometry-based analysis for residue monitoring and metabolic studies.

Application

• Internal Standard for GC-MS/LC-MS: Serves as a critical internal standard for the accurate quantification of native lindane in complex matrices, correcting for instrument variability and sample preparation losses.
• Environmental Analysis: Used in the testing of soil, water, and air samples for lindane contamination as part of environmental monitoring and remediation studies.
• Food Safety Testing: Employed in residue analysis for agricultural products, ensuring compliance with maximum residue limits (MRLs) in food commodities.
• Clinical & Forensic Toxicology: Aids in the detection and quantification of lindane exposure in biological samples such as blood, serum, or tissue.
• Method Development & Validation: Essential for developing, optimizing, and validating new analytical methods for organochlorine pesticide detection, ensuring robustness and reliability.
• Quality Control & Proficiency Testing: Used in laboratory quality control protocols and as a component in proficiency testing samples to ensure analytical accuracy and consistency across labs.
• Metabolic Pathway Research: Facilitates studies on the biodegradation, environmental fate, and metabolic pathways of lindane in scientific research.
• Regulatory Compliance & Reference Material: Acts as a certified reference material for calibrating equipment and ensuring data integrity for reports submitted to regulatory agencies.
