Description

Perfluorooctanoic Acid-13C2 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), where two carbon atoms are replaced with the carbon-13 isotope. This compound is an essential analytical standard for precise quantification and tracing studies in environmental and biological matrices. It is primarily used by analytical laboratories, environmental monitoring agencies, and research institutions involved in mass spectrometry-based analysis of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

Application

• Internal Standard for LC-MS/MS Analysis: Critical for the accurate quantification of PFOA and related PFAS in water, soil, and biological samples.
• Environmental Fate and Transport Studies: Used as a tracer to study the degradation, bioaccumulation, and environmental pathways of PFAS compounds.
• Metabolomic and Toxicological Research: Enables precise tracking of PFOA metabolites in in-vitro and in-vivo studies to understand toxicokinetics.
• Method Development and Validation: Serves as a reference material for developing and validating robust analytical methods in compliance with EPA, ISO, and other regulatory guidelines.
• Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC): Essential for laboratory proficiency testing and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of PFAS testing data.
• Food Safety and Packaging Testing: Used to detect and quantify PFAS migration from food contact materials into foodstuffs.
