Description

1,3,4,6,7,8-Hxcdf is a specific congener of hexachlorodibenzofuran, a member of the polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDF) chemical class. This high-purity analytical standard is critical for environmental monitoring, toxicological research, and regulatory compliance testing. It is primarily required by analytical laboratories, research institutions, and regulatory bodies involved in the detection and quantification of persistent organic pollutants (POPs).

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified reference material (CRM) for the calibration of GC-MS, HRGC-HRMS, and other analytical instrumentation.
• Environmental Analysis: Quantification and monitoring of dioxin-like compounds in soil, sediment, water, and air samples for environmental impact assessments.
• Food and Feed Safety Testing: Used in methods to determine contamination levels in foodstuffs, animal feed, and edible oils to ensure compliance with international safety regulations.
• Toxicological and Biomedical Research: Serves as a precise standard in studies investigating the toxicity, environmental fate, and bioaccumulation of chlorinated dibenzofurans.
• Quality Control and Method Validation: Essential for developing, validating, and accrediting analytical methods in commercial and regulatory testing laboratories.
• Regulatory Compliance: Supports testing mandated by international treaties like the Stockholm Convention on POPs and regulations from bodies such as the EPA and EU.

Quality Control

Every batch of our 1,3,4,6,7,8-Hexachlorodibenzofuran is manufactured and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure identity, purity, and stability. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) that detail purity, impurity profiles, and confirm congener specificity. Our quality systems support compliance with relevant guidelines for reference materials, ensuring reliable and reproducible results in your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). For long-term stability, storage at -20°C is recommended. Keep the container sealed under an inert atmosphere to prevent degradation.
