α-HCH Standard

Description

The α-HCH Standard from Aladdin Scientific Corporation is a certified reference material used for analytical calibration and quality control. Supplied under catalog number H128257, this standard is a solution of alpha-hexachlorocyclohexane (α-HCH) prepared at a concentration of 1000 micrograms per milliliter in Purge and Trap Methanol, with a total volume of 1 milliliter. α-HCH is one of the isomers of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), a historically significant organochlorine pesticide. This single-component standard is essential for environmental and analytical chemistry laboratories conducting residue analysis. Its primary applications include the calibration of instrumentation such as gas chromatographs and mass spectrometers, method validation, and as a quantitative standard in the analysis of water, soil, food, and biological samples for pesticide contaminants. The use of a Purge and Trap grade methanol solvent indicates suitability for volatile organic compound (VOC) analysis techniques.
