Description

3-Oh-2,24',5,5Pentachlorobiphenyl is a specific hydroxylated derivative of a polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB). This compound is of significant interest in environmental analysis and toxicological research due to its role as a metabolite of certain PCB congeners. It serves as a critical reference standard and analytical tool for scientists and laboratories engaged in monitoring, remediation, and safety assessment studies. Industries requiring precise environmental contaminant analysis, such as contract research organizations (CROs), analytical testing labs, and regulatory bodies, rely on high-purity standards of this nature.

Application

• Environmental Analysis Reference Standard: Used for the calibration of analytical equipment (GC-MS, HPLC) to detect and quantify PCB metabolites in soil, water, and biological samples.
• Toxicology and Metabolite Research: Serves as a key metabolite standard in studies investigating the biotransformation, pharmacokinetics, and toxic effects of polychlorinated biphenyls.
• Method Development and Validation: Essential for developing and validating new analytical methods in environmental and food safety testing laboratories.
• Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA): Employed as an internal standard or spiking compound to ensure accuracy and precision in analytical procedures for regulatory compliance.
• Academic and Government Research: Used in university and government-funded research projects focused on persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and their environmental impact.
