Description

Isodrin is a chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide belonging to the cyclodiene family, closely related to aldrin. This compound is valued for its historical and research significance in the study of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and environmental chemistry. It is primarily required by research institutions, analytical laboratories, and chemical manufacturers involved in environmental testing, method development, and the synthesis of reference standards.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Used as a high-purity standard in gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for the quantification and confirmation of pesticide residues in environmental and food safety testing.
• Environmental Fate Studies: Employed in scientific research to study the degradation, metabolism, and long-term environmental persistence of cyclodiene insecticides.
• Toxicological Research: Serves as a key compound in laboratories investigating the biochemical mechanisms, toxicity profiles, and ecological impacts of historical organochlorine pesticides.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Utilized in specialized organic synthesis for the preparation of derivatives or related compounds for research purposes.
• Quality Control & Method Validation: Essential for calibrating equipment and validating analytical methods in compliance with regulatory protocols for pollutant monitoring.
