Description

Methomyl-Sulfoxide is a key intermediate and metabolite in the synthesis and environmental breakdown of the carbamate insecticide methomyl. This compound is of significant interest for research and development in the agrochemical sector, particularly in studies concerning pesticide metabolism, environmental fate, and analytical method development. It serves as a critical reference standard for laboratories and manufacturers focused on product quality control, residue analysis, and the development of next-generation crop protection agents.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a high-purity standard for calibrating equipment and quantifying methomyl and its metabolites in environmental and food residue analysis via HPLC, LC-MS, or GC-MS.
• Metabolite Studies: Essential for research into the metabolic pathways, degradation rates, and environmental persistence of methomyl in soil, water, and plants.
• Agrochemical R&D: Used as a building block or intermediate in the research and synthesis of novel insecticides and related chemical entities.
• Toxicological Research: Employed in studies to understand the toxicity profile, mode of action, and safety assessments of methomyl's oxidative metabolites.
• Quality Control: Critical for manufacturers of methomyl to monitor process impurities and ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity of the final product.
• Regulatory Compliance Testing: Supports testing protocols required for product registration, environmental monitoring, and compliance with global maximum residue limits (MRLs).

Quality Control

Our Methomyl-Sulfoxide is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and analytical applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay results, and chromatographic data is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
