Description

3,3μ,4,4μ,5-Pentabde, 3,3μ,4,4μ,5-Pentabromodiphenyl Ether Solution, Pbde 126 is a high-purity, standardized solution of a specific polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) congener, CAS No. 366791-32-4. This product is essential for analytical and research laboratories requiring precise and reliable reference materials for environmental monitoring, toxicology studies, and regulatory compliance testing. It is primarily used by scientists and quality control professionals in environmental analysis, food safety, and material testing industries to calibrate instruments and quantify trace levels of this persistent organic pollutant.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified reference material (CRM) for the calibration of GC-MS, LC-MS, and other analytical instrumentation.
• Environmental Monitoring: Quantification of PBDE-126 in soil, sediment, water, and air samples to assess pollution levels and environmental impact.
• Food and Feed Safety Analysis: Detection and measurement of this congener in food products, animal feed, and biological tissues for regulatory compliance.
• Toxicological and Biomedical Research: Used in studies investigating the bioaccumulation, metabolic pathways, and health effects of brominated flame retardants.
• Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC): Serves as a spike or control sample in laboratory proficiency testing and method validation protocols.
• Material Testing: Analysis of consumer products, electronics, and polymers for restricted substance compliance (e.g., RoHS, POPs Regulation).
• Method Development: Crucial for developing and optimizing new analytical methods for the separation and detection of PBDE congeners.

Quality Control

Every batch of our PBDE-126 solution is manufactured and verified under strict quality management protocols. The product is characterized using advanced techniques including GC-MS and HPLC to ensure identity, purity, and concentration accuracy. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, detailing batch-specific data such as assay, solvent, certified concentration, and expiration date. Our quality system is designed to support ISO 17034 and ISO/IEC 17025 compliant laboratory operations.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at 2-8°C (refrigerated). Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are securely sealed and handled in a well-ventilated area. For long-term stability, storage under inert atmosphere is recommended. Keep away from heat and open flame.
