Description

cis-Chlordane is a specific stereoisomer of the organochlorine compound chlordane, a member of the cyclodiene family. This compound is of significant interest for research and analytical purposes, particularly in environmental monitoring, toxicology studies, and the development of remediation methods. It serves as a critical reference standard for laboratories and institutions analyzing legacy pesticide residues, studying environmental fate and transport, and conducting regulatory compliance testing.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a high-purity certified standard for calibrating equipment (GC, GC-MS, HPLC) in environmental and food safety testing laboratories.
• Environmental Fate and Toxicology Research: Essential for scientific studies investigating the persistence, biodegradation, bioaccumulation, and toxicological mechanisms of organochlorine pesticides in ecosystems.
• Method Development and Validation: Used by analytical chemists to develop, optimize, and validate testing protocols for chlordane isomers and related compounds in complex matrices like soil, water, and biological tissues.
• Quality Control and Assurance: Employed in the manufacturing of testing kits and by contract research organizations (CROs) to ensure the accuracy and reliability of analytical data for regulatory submissions.
• Forensic and Regulatory Analysis: A key component in the analysis of samples for compliance with international regulations (e.g., Stockholm Convention, EPA methods) regarding banned persistent organic pollutants (POPs).
• Educational and Training Material: Used in academic and professional training settings to teach advanced analytical techniques for pesticide residue analysis.
