Description

2-Nitropyrene is a high-purity polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) derivative, specifically a nitrated pyrene compound. It serves as a critical reference standard and a key intermediate in advanced materials research and environmental toxicology studies. This compound is essential for researchers and quality control laboratories in the chemical, environmental science, and analytical instrumentation sectors who require precise and reliable materials for method development and calibration.

Application

• Primary use as an analytical reference standard for the calibration of HPLC, GC-MS, and other chromatographic systems in environmental testing laboratories.
• Critical intermediate in organic synthesis for the development of specialty dyes, pigments, and advanced functional materials.
• Key reagent in environmental and toxicological research, particularly for studying the formation, fate, and biological effects of nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (Nitro-PAHs).
• Used in combustion and emission studies as a marker compound for diesel exhaust and other combustion processes.
• Component in the preparation of calibration mixtures for air, water, and soil pollution monitoring programs.
• Starting material for photochemical research due to its light-sensitive properties and potential in photo-initiated reactions.

Quality Control

Every batch of 2-Nitropyrene is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, meeting the stringent requirements for research and reference standard applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is supplied with each shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay purity and impurity profiles.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
