Description

Pentachloronitrobenzene-13C6 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of pentachloronitrobenzene, where six carbon atoms are replaced with the carbon-13 isotope. This compound is essential as an internal standard for precise quantitative analysis in advanced mass spectrometry, ensuring accuracy and reliability in trace-level detection. It is primarily required by analytical laboratories, environmental testing facilities, and agrochemical research institutions conducting method development, residue analysis, and metabolic studies.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Used as a quantitative reference in LC-MS and GC-MS analysis for accurate measurement of pentachloronitrobenzene and related compounds.
• Environmental Analysis: Critical for tracing and quantifying pesticide residues and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in soil, water, and air samples.
• Agrochemical Research & Development: Supports metabolic fate studies, degradation pathway analysis, and regulatory compliance testing for fungicides and pesticides.
• Food Safety Testing: Employed in the detection and quantification of chlorinated pesticide residues in food products to ensure safety standards.
• Pharmaceutical Impurity Profiling: Aids in the identification and quantification of potential genotoxic impurities (PGIs) in active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Forensic Toxicology: Serves as a reference material in the analysis of toxic chemical exposures and related forensic investigations.
