Description

Benzo(A)Pyrene-7,8,9,10-Tetrol is a high-purity, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) metabolite and a key analytical standard used in environmental and biochemical research. This compound is critical for scientists and quality control laboratories requiring precise calibration and validation in the analysis of carcinogenic PAHs and their metabolic pathways. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, environmental testing facilities, and pharmaceutical companies engaged in toxicology studies and metabolic profiling.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified reference material (CRM) for the quantification of Benzo(a)pyrene metabolites in complex matrices via HPLC, GC-MS, or LC-MS.
• Environmental Monitoring: Calibration standard for testing soil, water, and air samples for PAH contamination, supporting regulatory compliance and risk assessment.
• Biomarker Research: Essential tool in studying DNA adduct formation and the metabolic activation pathways of Benzo(a)pyrene, a potent carcinogen.
• Toxicology & Pharmacology: Used in in vitro and in vivo studies to investigate the mechanisms of PAH-induced toxicity and cancer.
• Food Safety Testing: Employed in methods to detect and quantify PAH residues in food products, such as smoked meats and oils.
• Quality Control (QC): Serves as an internal standard in laboratory QC protocols to ensure the accuracy and precision of analytical methods for PAH detection.
