Description

1,2,6,8-Tcdf CAS NO 83710-07-0 is a specific congener of tetrachlorodibenzofuran, a class of chlorinated aromatic compounds. This high-purity analytical standard is critical for environmental monitoring, toxicological research, and regulatory compliance testing. It is primarily required by analytical laboratories, research institutions, and environmental agencies involved in the detection and quantification of persistent organic pollutants (POPs).

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified standard for the calibration and validation of analytical instruments like GC-MS and HRGC/HRMS in environmental analysis.
• Environmental Monitoring: Essential for the accurate quantification of dioxin-like compounds in soil, water, sediment, and air samples to assess contamination levels.
• Toxicological Research: Used in scientific studies to investigate the specific toxicokinetics, metabolic pathways, and health effects of individual polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDF) congeners.
• Food and Feed Safety Analysis: Employed in laboratories to screen for and measure dioxin and furan contamination in the food chain, ensuring compliance with strict international safety limits (e.g., EU regulations).
• Quality Control and Method Development: Serves as a critical component in developing, optimizing, and verifying analytical methods for complex matrices.
• Regulatory Compliance and Proficiency Testing: Used by testing laboratories to demonstrate competency and comply with international standards (e.g., EPA, ISO) for dioxin analysis.

Quality Control

Every batch of 1,2,6,8-Tcdf is manufactured and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure identity, purity, and stability. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing, including chromatographic purity analysis, to ensure compliance with the high standards required for analytical and research applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, analytical methods, and batch-specific data is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong acids and organic solvents. For long-term storage, consider storing under inert atmosphere at lower temperatures (e.g., -20°C) to maximize stability.
