Description

Benzo(A)Pyrene-8-D, 98 is a deuterium-labeled analog of the well-known polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) Benzo[a]pyrene. This high-purity (98%) compound is a critical analytical standard and internal reference material for advanced environmental and toxicological research. It is essential for scientists and laboratories requiring precise quantification and metabolic pathway studies of PAHs. Key users include environmental testing facilities, contract research organizations (CROs), and academic institutions focused on carcinogen analysis and regulatory compliance.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Used as a deuterated internal standard for the accurate quantification of Benzo[a]pyrene and related PAHs via GC-MS or LC-MS/MS, correcting for matrix effects and instrument variability.
• Metabolic and Toxicological Studies: Enables the tracing of metabolic pathways, bioactivation, and DNA adduct formation of Benzo[a]pyrene in in vitro and in vivo research models.
• Environmental Analysis: Critical for the precise measurement of PAH contamination levels in complex matrices such as soil, water, air particulates, and food products.
• Method Development and Validation: Serves as a key reagent for developing, calibrating, and validating analytical methods to meet stringent regulatory guidelines (e.g., EPA, ISO).
• Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA): Employed in laboratory QC protocols to ensure the accuracy and reliability of PAH testing results.
• Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Research: Used in studies investigating the mechanisms of PAH-induced carcinogenesis and the development of potential chemopreventive agents.
