Description

Dicamba, [Ring-14C(U)] is a radiolabeled analog of the widely used synthetic auxin herbicide Dicamba, specifically labeled with carbon-14 at the ring positions. This compound is an essential tool for conducting advanced metabolism, environmental fate, and residue studies in agricultural and environmental research. It is primarily required by agrochemical companies, contract research organizations (CROs), and academic institutions engaged in regulatory science and product development. The use of this isotopically labeled standard is critical for generating definitive data on the behavior and breakdown pathways of Dicamba in biological and environmental systems.

Application

• Metabolism Studies: Tracing the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of Dicamba in plants, animals, and soil microorganisms.
• Environmental Fate Research: Investigating the degradation, leaching, and persistence of Dicamba in soil and water under various conditions.
• Residue Analysis: Serving as an internal standard in Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) and other analytical methods for accurate quantification of Dicamba residues in crop and environmental samples.
• Mode of Action Research: Elucidating the precise biochemical interactions and mechanisms of Dicamba as a herbicide at the molecular level.
• Regulatory Submissions: Generating data required for the registration and re-registration of Dicamba-containing herbicide formulations with global agencies like the EPA and EFSA.
• Degradation Pathway Mapping: Identifying and quantifying primary and secondary metabolites formed during the biotic and abiotic degradation of Dicamba.
