Description

Strobane (Tm) is a chlorinated terpene insecticide with the CAS number 8001-50-1. This compound is valued for its historical efficacy as a persistent contact and stomach poison against a range of agricultural pests. It is primarily sought by researchers, regulatory bodies, and specialized chemical suppliers for reference standards, environmental fate studies, and legacy product analysis. Its specific properties make it a subject of interest in analytical and environmental chemistry.

Application

• Reference Standard and Analytical Testing: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for quality control and method validation in analytical laboratories.
• Environmental Monitoring and Fate Studies: Employed in research to study the persistence, degradation pathways, and ecological impact of legacy organochlorine pesticides.
• Regulatory and Compliance Analysis: Serves as a standard for regulatory testing to monitor residues in soil, water, and agricultural products to ensure compliance with environmental and safety regulations.
• Historical Research and Education: Used in academic and industrial research to understand the chemistry and toxicology of discontinued pesticidal compounds.
• Specialized Chemical Synthesis: May serve as a starting material or intermediate for the synthesis of other specialized organochlorine compounds in research settings.
