Description

α-Hch D6 is a deuterated isotopologue of α-hexachlorocyclohexane, a compound of significant interest in analytical and research chemistry. Its primary value lies in its use as a stable, non-radioactive internal standard for the precise quantification of α-HCH in complex matrices via mass spectrometry. This high-purity material is essential for environmental testing laboratories, regulatory agencies, and research institutions conducting trace-level analysis of persistent organic pollutants (POPs).

Application

• Internal Standard for GC-MS/LC-MS analysis of α-HCH and related organochlorine pesticides.
• Quantitative reference material for environmental monitoring of soil, water, and air samples.
• Calibration standard in method development and validation for regulatory compliance testing.
• Tracer compound in environmental fate and transport studies.
• Critical reagent for isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) to ensure high accuracy and precision.
• Research applications in metabolomics and pharmacokinetic studies involving chlorinated hydrocarbons.
