Description

Fenthion-Oxon CAS NO 6552-12-1 is a key metabolite and analytical reference standard of the organophosphate insecticide Fenthion. This compound is critical for environmental monitoring, toxicological studies, and ensuring regulatory compliance in agricultural and food safety sectors. It is primarily required by analytical laboratories, agrochemical manufacturers, and regulatory bodies for precise residue analysis and method development.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified standard for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of Fenthion and its metabolites via HPLC, GC-MS, or LC-MS/MS.
• Environmental Monitoring: Detection and quantification of Fenthion degradation products in soil, water, and agricultural runoff samples.
• Food Safety & Residue Testing: Essential for testing pesticide residues on crops, fruits, vegetables, and in food products to ensure compliance with MRLs (Maximum Residue Limits).
• Toxicological Research: Used in metabolism studies, pharmacokinetic research, and to understand the toxicological profile of Fenthion exposure.
• Quality Control & Method Validation: Serves as a critical component in the development, validation, and routine quality control of analytical methods within agrochemical QA/QC laboratories.
• Regulatory Compliance & Proficiency Testing: Employed in laboratory accreditation processes and proficiency testing schemes to ensure analytical accuracy for global regulatory standards.
