Description

3-Nitrobenzo(A)Pyrene is a high-purity, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) derivative, specifically a nitrated benzo[a]pyrene. This compound is of significant value as a critical reference standard and analytical reagent in environmental and toxicological research. It is primarily needed by research institutions, analytical laboratories, and chemical manufacturers engaged in the study of nitro-PAHs, which are important environmental pollutants and potential mutagens.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Used as a certified standard for the calibration and validation of analytical instruments like HPLC, GC-MS, and LC-MS in environmental testing.
• Environmental Research: Serves as a key analyte in studies monitoring air, water, and soil pollution from combustion processes and industrial emissions.
• Toxicology & Mutagenicity Studies: Employed in laboratory research to investigate the metabolic activation, DNA adduct formation, and carcinogenic potential of nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Acts as a building block or precursor in the synthesis of more complex PAH derivatives for specialized research applications.
• Quality Control & Assurance: Utilized by chemical suppliers and manufacturers to verify the purity and identity of related PAH compounds.
