Description

8-Fluorobenzo(A)Pyrene is a high-purity, fluorinated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) derivative, specifically engineered for advanced research and development applications. This compound is valued for its role as a key intermediate and reference standard in the study of metabolic pathways, environmental analysis, and the synthesis of more complex fluorinated molecules. It is primarily sought by pharmaceutical research laboratories, environmental testing facilities, and academic institutions engaged in toxicology and analytical chemistry.

Application

• Pharmaceutical & Biomedical Research: Used as a metabolite analog or a stable-isotope-labeled precursor in studies of drug metabolism, carcinogenicity, and DNA adduct formation.
• Environmental Analysis: Serves as a critical analytical standard for the detection and quantification of fluorinated PAHs in environmental samples (air, water, soil) via GC-MS or HPLC.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a specialized building block for the synthesis of novel fluorinated organic compounds and materials science applications.
• Toxicology & Safety Studies: Employed as a reference material in toxicological assays to understand the biological impact of fluorinated aromatic compounds.
• Quality Control & Method Development: Essential for calibrating analytical instruments and validating testing methods in contract research organizations (CROs) and quality control labs.
