Description

2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid-Carboxy-14C is a carbon-14 radiolabeled analog of the widely used synthetic auxin herbicide, 2,4-D. This compound is essential for advanced metabolic and environmental fate studies, providing critical traceability in complex biological systems. It is primarily utilized by research scientists and agrochemical companies in the development and registration of plant protection products, as well as in environmental science for studying degradation pathways and residue analysis.

Application

• Agrochemical Metabolism Studies: Tracing the absorption, translocation, and metabolic pathways of 2,4-D in target and non-target plants.
• Environmental Fate Research: Investigating the degradation, mineralization, and binding of 2,4-D in soil and water systems to assess environmental impact.
• Toxicological & Pharmacokinetic Research: Used in animal studies to understand the distribution, metabolism, and excretion (DME) profile of the herbicide.
• Analytical Method Development: Serving as an internal standard or tracer in the development and validation of sensitive analytical methods (e.g., LC-MS/MS) for residue analysis.
• Mode of Action Research: Elucidating the precise biochemical interactions and mechanisms of action of phenoxy herbicides at the cellular level.

Quality Control

Every batch of our 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid-Carboxy-14C is manufactured and analyzed under strict quality control protocols to ensure high chemical and radiochemical purity. Each product is supplied with a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing critical parameters including specific activity, radiochemical purity (typically >97% by radio-HPLC), chemical purity, and solvent composition. Our quality system is designed to meet the stringent requirements of GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) and research-grade standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at recommended temperatures (typically 2-8°C or as specified on the label) to maintain stability. Due to its light-sensitive nature and potential volatility, ensure proper laboratory ventilation and adhere to all local regulations for the safe handling and storage of radioactive materials. The original container is designed for optimal protection.
