Description

1,3,4,6-Tetrachlorodibenzofuran is a specific, high-purity chlorinated dibenzofuran congener, a class of compounds of significant interest in environmental and analytical chemistry. Its primary value lies in its use as a certified reference material (CRM) and analytical standard for precise quantification and method validation. This compound is essential for researchers, regulatory bodies, and testing laboratories focused on persistent organic pollutant (POP) analysis, environmental monitoring, and toxicological studies.

Application

• Certified Reference Standard for the calibration of analytical instruments (GC-MS, HRGC/HRMS) in dioxin and furan analysis.
• Method Development and Validation for testing laboratories to ensure accuracy and compliance with international protocols (e.g., EPA Method 1613, 8290).
• Environmental Fate and Toxicology Studies, serving as a model compound to investigate the behavior and effects of chlorinated dibenzofurans.
• Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA) in industrial and environmental monitoring programs to track and quantify trace-level contaminants.
• Research Chemical for academic and institutional studies on the synthesis, properties, and degradation pathways of polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs).
• Regulatory Compliance Testing to screen and confirm the presence of PCDFs in samples to meet global regulatory standards (Stockholm Convention, REACH).
