Description

(+)-trans-Chlordane CAS NO 66514-87-2 is a specific stereoisomer of the organochlorine compound chlordane. This high-purity isomer is critical for research and analytical applications where precise molecular structure and stereochemistry are required. It serves as a vital reference standard for environmental monitoring, toxicology studies, and the development of analytical methods to detect and quantify chlordane residues in various matrices.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified reference material (CRM) for calibrating analytical instrumentation such as GC-MS and HPLC in environmental testing laboratories.
• Environmental Fate and Metabolism Studies: Used in research to investigate the degradation pathways, persistence, and bioaccumulation of chlordane isomers in soil and water.
• Toxicological Research: Essential for studying the specific biological effects, mode of action, and comparative toxicity of individual chlordane stereoisomers.
• Method Development and Validation: Serves as a key component in developing, optimizing, and validating regulatory-compliant analytical methods for pesticide residue analysis.
• Quality Control and Assurance: Employed by manufacturers of agrochemicals and related products to verify the composition and purity of technical grade materials or to assess isomer separation processes.
• Forensic and Regulatory Science: Used to identify the source and history of chlordane contamination in environmental forensic investigations and to support regulatory compliance testing.
