Description

2,2',3,6-Tetrachlorobiphenyl is a specific congener of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), a well-studied class of industrial chemicals. This compound is primarily utilized as a critical analytical reference standard for environmental monitoring, toxicological research, and regulatory compliance testing. It serves essential roles for research laboratories, environmental testing facilities, and chemical manufacturers requiring precise calibration materials for chromatographic analysis.

Application

• Environmental Analysis Reference Standard: Calibration and quantification of PCBs in soil, water, and sediment samples for pollution studies.
• Toxicological Research: Used in studies investigating the metabolic pathways, bioaccumulation, and specific toxic effects of PCB congeners.
• Food and Feed Safety Testing: Acts as a standard in the analysis of PCB residues to ensure compliance with food safety regulations.
• Waste and Material Analysis: Essential for characterizing PCB content in industrial wastes, transformer oils, and other materials for proper disposal classification.
• Method Development and Validation: Serves as a key component in developing and validating new analytical methods for halogenated organic compounds.
• Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA): Used as an internal standard or system suitability check in analytical laboratories to ensure instrument performance and data accuracy.
