Description

Benzopyrene Related Compound 7 (Benzo[A]Pyrene-3, 6- Quinone) is a high-purity quinone derivative of benzo[a]pyrene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). This compound serves as a critical reference standard and analytical intermediate for research and quality control in environmental and toxicological studies. It is primarily required by analytical laboratories, research institutions, and chemical manufacturers involved in the detection, quantification, and metabolic study of PAH contaminants.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Used as a certified standard for the calibration and validation of HPLC, GC-MS, and LC-MS instruments in environmental testing labs.
• Toxicology Research: Serves as a key metabolite or intermediate in studies investigating the carcinogenic pathways and metabolic activation of benzo[a]pyrene.
• Environmental Monitoring: Employed in method development and proficiency testing for the analysis of PAHs and their oxygenated derivatives in soil, water, and air samples.
• Pharmaceutical Impurity Profiling: Used in the identification and quantification of potential genotoxic impurities in active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and finished drug products.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a specialized building block or precursor in organic synthesis for developing novel compounds in academic and industrial research.
• Food Safety Analysis: Applied in the development of analytical methods to detect PAH contamination in food products, such as smoked meats and oils.
