Description

2,3,6-Trichlorodibenzofuran is a specific chlorinated dibenzofuran compound of significant interest in analytical and environmental chemistry. This high-purity reference standard is essential for precise calibration, method development, and toxicological research. It is primarily utilized by analytical laboratories, environmental testing facilities, and research institutions focused on persistent organic pollutant (POP) analysis and dioxin-related compound studies.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified standard for the calibration of GC-MS and HRGC/HRMS systems in environmental and food testing.
• Environmental Monitoring: Critical component in the analysis of complex mixtures for the identification and quantification of polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) in soil, water, and air samples.
• Toxicological Research: Used in scientific studies to investigate the environmental fate, behavior, and toxicological profiles of chlorinated aromatic compounds.
• Method Development & Validation: Serves as a key analyte for developing and validating analytical methods compliant with international standards (e.g., US EPA, EU) for dioxin and furan analysis.
• Quality Control Material: Employed in the preparation of quality control samples and proficiency testing schemes for laboratories.
• Regulatory Compliance Testing: Essential for testing to ensure compliance with global regulations concerning POPs, such as the Stockholm Convention.
