Description

7-Methylbenzo[A]Pyrene is a high-purity methylated derivative of the well-characterized polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), Benzo[a]pyrene. This compound is of significant value as a critical reference standard and analytical reagent for environmental monitoring, toxicological research, and method validation. It is primarily required by analytical laboratories, research institutions, and quality control facilities involved in the detection and quantification of PAHs in complex matrices.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified standard for calibrating instruments (GC, HPLC, GC-MS) in environmental and food safety testing.
• Toxicology and Metabolic Studies: Used in research to investigate the metabolism, DNA adduct formation, and carcinogenic mechanisms of methylated PAHs.
• Method Development and Validation: Essential for developing, optimizing, and validating analytical methods for PAH detection according to EPA, ISO, or other regulatory guidelines.
• Environmental Analysis: Calibration and quantification of 7-Methylbenzo[a]pyrene in samples like soil, water, air particulates, and industrial emissions.
• Food and Consumer Product Safety: Testing for PAH contaminants in smoked foods, edible oils, and other consumer goods.
• Quality Control (QC) Material: Serves as a QC check sample in laboratory proficiency testing and internal quality assurance programs.
• Chemical Research: Used as a building block or intermediate in synthetic organic chemistry research focused on PAH derivatives.
