Description

(+)-cis-Chlordane CAS NO 66514-88-3 is a specific stereoisomer of the organochlorine insecticide chlordane, known for its historical use in termite control and soil treatment. This high-purity enantiomer is critical for research and analytical applications, serving as a definitive reference standard for environmental monitoring and toxicological studies. It is primarily required by analytical laboratories, environmental testing facilities, and chemical manufacturers engaged in the synthesis of specialized agrochemicals or the calibration of detection equipment.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified standard for Gas Chromatography (GC) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) in environmental analysis.
• Environmental Monitoring: Calibration and quantification of chlordane residues in soil, water, and air samples for regulatory compliance and site remediation studies.
• Toxicological Research: Used in studies investigating the metabolism, environmental fate, and specific biological effects of the cis-chlordane enantiomer.
• Method Development & Validation: Essential for developing and validating analytical methods in accredited testing laboratories.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a high-purity starting material or intermediate for synthesizing other specialized organochlorine compounds or labeled derivatives.
• Quality Control: Employed as an in-house quality control standard by manufacturers of pesticides or environmental testing kits.
