Aldrin
Aldrin (CAS: 309-00-2), with the empirical formula C12H8Cl6 and a molecular weight of 364.91 g/mol, is a chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide. Historically used for agricultural pest control, its application is now highly restricted due to environmental and health concerns. Aldrin is classified as toxic and an environmental hazard. TSS supplies Aldrin as a PESTANAL®, analytical standard, suitable for laboratory use and environmental monitoring.
Analytical Standard
Aldrin is supplied as a PESTANAL®, analytical standard. This makes it suitable for use in analytical laboratories for calibrating equipment and validating methods, particularly in environmental testing and residue analysis.
Environmental Monitoring
Due to its historical use and persistence, Aldrin is often monitored in environmental samples. This standard is valuable for detecting and quantifying its presence in soil, water, and biological matrices.
Research and Development
Aldrin can be used in research settings to study its environmental fate, degradation pathways, or toxicological effects. Its well-defined properties as an analytical standard aid in reproducible experimental outcomes.
