Description

3-Nitrobenzo(E)Pyrene is a high-purity, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) derivative used extensively in advanced chemical research and development. This compound is critical for scientists and engineers developing analytical standards, environmental monitoring methods, and studying nitro-PAH reactivity and toxicology. It serves as a key intermediate and reference material for laboratories in the environmental, pharmaceutical, and material science sectors requiring precise and reliable chemical building blocks.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified standard for the quantification and identification of nitro-PAHs in complex matrices via HPLC, GC-MS, or LC-MS.
• Environmental Research: Critical for studying the formation, fate, and transport of nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in atmospheric and aquatic systems.
• Toxicology & Mutagenicity Studies: Employed in biochemical research to investigate the metabolic activation, DNA adduct formation, and carcinogenic potential of nitroarenes.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Serves as a specialized precursor for the synthesis of more complex PAH derivatives or fluorescent tags in material science.
• Occupational Health & Safety: Used to calibrate equipment and validate methods for monitoring workplace exposure to diesel exhaust and combustion-related pollutants.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Potential use in probing enzyme mechanisms or as a scaffold in early-stage drug discovery projects targeting specific biological pathways.

Quality Control

Every batch of 3-Nitrobenzo(E)Pyrene is manufactured and analyzed under strict quality management protocols to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and spectroscopic identification, to ensure compliance with industry standards for reference materials. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, prolonged exposure to light, air, or elevated temperatures should be avoided to maintain product integrity.
