Description

3,3',4,4',5,5'-Hexacb (Pcb-169) (13C12, 99%) 40+/-2 Ug/Ml In Nonane is a high-purity, stable-isotope labeled standard of a specific polychlorinated biphenyl congener, essential for precise analytical quantification. This product is specifically formulated as a ready-to-use solution in nonane, providing exceptional accuracy and reliability for trace-level detection and method validation. It is a critical tool for environmental testing laboratories, regulatory bodies, and research institutions focused on persistent organic pollutant (POP) analysis, food safety, and occupational health monitoring to ensure compliance with global environmental regulations.

Application

• Quantitative Analytical Standard for the calibration of GC-MS, GC-ECD, and HRGC/HRMS systems in environmental testing.
• Internal Standard & Method Validation in the analysis of PCBs in soil, sediment, water, and biota samples for regulatory compliance (e.g., EPA, EU directives).
• Food and Feed Safety Analysis for the accurate determination of PCB contamination levels to meet international food safety standards.
• Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) programs in commercial and government laboratories to ensure data integrity and traceability.
• Research and Development of new analytical methodologies for persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and toxicological studies.
• Proficiency Testing and inter-laboratory comparison studies to benchmark analytical performance.

Quality Control

Every batch of our 13C12-labeled PCB-169 standard is manufactured and verified under strict quality protocols to ensure the highest isotopic and chemical purity. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing, including confirmatory analysis by GC-MS and NMR, to ensure compliance with industry standards for certified reference materials. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing the exact concentration, isotopic enrichment, solvent verification, and purity are provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and reliability for your critical analyses.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at 2-8°C (refrigerated). This product is highly volatile and light-sensitive; prolonged exposure to room temperature or light may affect concentration and stability. Keep the vial upright to prevent solvent contact with the septum.
