Description

1,3,4,7,8-Pentachlorodibenzofuran is a specific, high-purity congener of the polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDF) chemical class. This compound is of significant importance as a certified reference material and analytical standard for environmental monitoring and toxicological research. It is primarily required by analytical laboratories, research institutions, and regulatory bodies involved in the detection and quantification of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), particularly dioxins and furans, in complex matrices.

Application

• Certified Reference Standard for the calibration of GC-MS and HRGC-HRMS systems in environmental analysis.
• Analytical Standard for method development and validation in the testing of soil, water, sediment, and biological samples for dioxin-like compounds.
• Toxicological Research to study the specific biological activity, metabolism, and health effects of individual PCDF congeners.
• Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA) in commercial and regulatory laboratories to ensure accuracy and precision in POPs testing.
• Environmental Forensics for source identification and apportionment in contamination studies.
• Compliance Testing for industries and waste management facilities to meet international regulations like the Stockholm Convention.
