Description

Methyl Parathion-D6 CAS NO 96740-32-8 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of the organophosphate insecticide Methyl Parathion, where six hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium. This compound is an essential analytical standard for precise quantification and method validation in environmental and food safety testing. It is primarily required by analytical laboratories, regulatory bodies, and agrochemical research institutions conducting high-accuracy residue analysis and metabolic studies.

Application

• Internal Standard for LC-MS/MS and GC-MS analysis of pesticide residues.
• Quantification of Methyl Parathion in environmental samples (water, soil).
• Method development and validation for food safety testing in agricultural products.
• Quality control and assurance in the production of analytical reference materials.
• Use in metabolic fate and degradation studies in environmental science.
• Calibration standard for regulatory compliance monitoring (e.g., EPA, EU regulations).
• Research applications in isotope dilution mass spectrometry for high-precision results.
• Tracer studies in toxicological and pharmacokinetic research.
