Description

12-Aminobenzo(A)Pyrene is a high-purity, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) derivative, specifically an amino-substituted benzo[a]pyrene. This compound is of significant value as a critical reference standard and advanced intermediate in analytical chemistry and organic synthesis. It is primarily needed by research institutions, analytical laboratories, and specialty chemical manufacturers engaged in environmental monitoring, toxicology studies, and the development of novel materials.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Used for the calibration and validation of analytical instruments (HPLC, GC-MS) in the quantification of PAHs and their metabolites in environmental and biological samples.
• Toxicological Research: Serves as a key intermediate or metabolite standard in studies investigating the carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, and metabolic pathways of benzo[a]pyrene.
• Organic Synthesis: Acts as a versatile building block for the synthesis of more complex PAH derivatives, fluorescent probes, or specialized polymers.
• Material Science Research: Potential use in the development of organic semiconductors or as a dopant in advanced material formulations due to its conjugated aromatic structure.
• Environmental Analysis: Employed in method development for detecting and monitoring nitrated or aminated PAHs in air, water, and soil samples.

Quality Control

Our 12-Aminobenzo(A)Pyrene is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage and to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
