Description

Hexachlorobenzene 13C6 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of hexachlorobenzene, where all six carbon atoms are the carbon-13 isotope. This compound is an essential internal standard and reference material for precise quantitative analysis, ensuring accuracy and reliability in complex matrices. It is primarily used by analytical laboratories, environmental testing facilities, and research institutions engaged in mass spectrometry-based methods for trace-level detection and quantification of hexachlorobenzene and related chlorinated aromatics.

Application

• Internal Standard for GC-MS and LC-MS analysis of hexachlorobenzene in environmental samples (soil, water, air).
• Quantitative Reference Material for method development and validation in analytical chemistry.
• Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry (IDMS) to achieve high-precision measurements in regulatory compliance testing.
• Tracer studies in environmental fate and metabolism research of persistent organic pollutants (POPs).
• Calibration standard for ensuring data integrity in food safety and agricultural residue analysis.
• Quality control reagent in the production and testing of pharmaceuticals and industrial chemicals.
