Description

2,4,8-Trichlorodibenzofuran is a specific chlorinated dibenzofuran congener, a class of compounds of significant environmental and analytical interest. This high-purity reference standard is critical for research, environmental monitoring, and regulatory compliance testing. It is primarily utilized by analytical laboratories, environmental agencies, and chemical manufacturers involved in the study and control of persistent organic pollutants (POPs).

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified standard for the calibration and validation of analytical instruments like GC-MS and HPLC in environmental testing.
• Environmental Research: Used in scientific studies to understand the environmental fate, transport, and toxicology of chlorinated dibenzofurans.
• Dioxin Analysis: Serves as a critical component in the analysis of dioxin and furan congeners for compliance with international regulations (e.g., Stockholm Convention, EPA Methods).
• Quality Control: Employed by chemical manufacturers to verify the absence or level of this congener as an impurity in other products.
• Method Development: Essential for developing and optimizing new analytical methods for the detection of polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs).
• Toxicological Studies: Used in laboratory research to investigate the specific biological and toxic effects of individual chlorinated dibenzofuran congeners.

Quality Control

Every batch of our 2,4,8-Trichlorodibenzofuran is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure identity, purity, and stability. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity by GC-MS or HPLC, confirming the absence of critical co-eluting congeners. Our quality system is designed to meet the rigorous demands of analytical reference material standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). For long-term stability, storage at -20°C under an inert atmosphere is recommended. Keep away from heat and open flame.
