Dibenzo[a,h]pyrene 13C12

Dibenzo[a,h]pyrene 13C12 is a labelled form of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) Dibenzo[a,h]pyrene. PAHs are a group of organic compounds that are formed during incomplete combustion of organic materials such as coal, oil, and gas. Dibenzo[a,h]pyrene is a highly toxic PAH that is classified as a carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Dibenzo[a,h]pyrene 13C12 is used as an internal standard in analytical chemistry to quantify the levels of Dibenzo[a,h]pyrene in various environmental matrices such as air, water, soil, and food. The labelled compound is added to the sample before analysis, and the ratio of Dibenzo[a,h]pyrene to Dibenzo[a,h]pyrene 13C12 is measured to determine the concentration of the compound in the sample. The use of Dibenzo[a,h]pyrene 13C12 as an internal standard improves the accuracy and precision of the analytical method, as it corrects for any variations in the sample preparation and analysis. The labelled compound is also used in toxicology studies to investigate the metabolism and bioaccumulation of Dibenzo[a,h]pyrene in living organisms. In terms of chemical information, Dibenzo[a,h]pyrene 13C12 has a molecular formula of C24H12, with a molecular weight of 300.36 g/mol. The compound is a dark brown powder that is stable under normal storage conditions.
