Description

7,12-Di(2H3)Methyl-[1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,11-2H10]Benz[A]Anthracene is a high-purity, deuterated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compound. This isotopically labeled analog is a critical tool for analytical and research applications requiring internal standards or tracer studies. It is primarily utilized by analytical laboratories, environmental testing facilities, and research institutions specializing in toxicology and metabolism. The compound's defined isotopic enrichment provides unmatched precision for quantitative analysis in complex matrices.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Essential for accurate quantification of benz[a]anthracene and related PAHs in environmental, food, and biological samples via GC-MS or LC-MS.
• Metabolic and Pharmacokinetic Studies: Used as a stable isotopic tracer to investigate the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of PAHs in biological systems.
• Environmental Analysis and Monitoring: Enables precise measurement of carcinogenic PAH levels in soil, water, air particulates, and industrial emissions for regulatory compliance.
• Dioxin and POPs Analysis: Serves as a surrogate or recovery standard in the analysis of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) due to similar chemical behavior.
• Forensic and Source Identification: Aids in the chemical fingerprinting and source apportionment of PAH contamination in environmental forensic investigations.
• Method Development and Validation: Critical for developing, calibrating, and validating highly sensitive analytical methods in accredited laboratories.
• Biomedical Research: Facilitates studies on the mechanisms of PAH-induced carcinogenesis and DNA adduct formation.
