Description

1,2,3,4,6,7-Hexachlorodibenzofuran is a specific, high-purity congener of the polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDF) family, a class of compounds of significant environmental and analytical interest. It serves as a critical certified reference material (CRM) and analytical standard for precise quantification and method validation in complex matrices. This compound is primarily required by environmental testing laboratories, regulatory agencies, and research institutions engaged in the analysis of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and dioxin-like compounds.

Application

• Certified Reference Material (CRM): For the calibration of analytical instruments and validation of testing methods in accordance with international standards (e.g., EPA, EU).
• Environmental Analysis: Quantification and monitoring of PCDFs in soil, sediment, water, and air samples as part of environmental impact assessments and regulatory compliance.
• Food and Feed Safety: Used in the analysis of dioxin and furan contamination in food chains, supporting safety protocols for human and animal health.
• Toxicological Research: Serves as a pure standard in studies investigating the toxicity, environmental fate, and bioaccumulation of chlorinated dibenzofurans.
• Waste and Emission Testing: Critical for analyzing industrial emissions, incinerator fly ash, and other waste streams for POPs content.
• Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC): Implementation in laboratory proficiency testing and as an internal standard to ensure analytical accuracy and reproducibility.
