Description

Flufenacet Oa, Pestanal is a high-purity analytical standard of the selective herbicide flufenacet, widely recognized for its role in modern crop protection research and development. This compound is critical for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of analytical methods, including residue analysis and environmental fate studies. It is an essential reference material for agrochemical manufacturers, regulatory bodies, and analytical laboratories focused on quality control and method validation.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified standard for calibrating instruments and validating analytical methods (e.g., HPLC, GC-MS) in quality control laboratories.
• Residue Analysis: Critical for quantifying flufenacet residues in soil, water, and agricultural commodities to ensure compliance with Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) and environmental regulations.
• Metabolism and Environmental Fate Studies: Used in research to study the degradation pathways, metabolic products, and environmental behavior of the herbicide.
• Method Development and Validation: Serves as a benchmark for developing, optimizing, and certifying new analytical protocols for flufenacet detection.
• Regulatory Submissions: Provides the definitive standard required for generating data for regulatory approval dossiers submitted to agencies like the EPA and EFSA.
• Teaching and Research: Used in academic and institutional settings for training and advanced research in analytical chemistry and agrochemical science.

Quality Control

Our Pestanal analytical standards are produced under strict quality management systems to guarantee identity, purity, and stability. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing results from multiple orthogonal analytical techniques, including HPLC, GC, and NMR. We ensure traceability and compliance with relevant 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) and must be kept in a desiccated environment to maintain stability and purity. Handle under an inert atmosphere if prolonged exposure is anticipated.
