Researchers worldwide are conducting ongoing analytical work on flame retardants containing polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and their more toxic metabolites
AccuStandard has responded to the analytical need for certified reference standards for PBDEs and PBDE metabolites by synthesising over 150 PBDE congeners and many of the more commonly studied PBDE metabolites.
Product development is ongoing with custom synthesis and custom standard formulations making additional products available.
The two primary categories of PBDE metabolites that are appearing both controlled laboratory and field samples are hydroxy and methoxy derivatives.
There are two primary categories of PBDE metabolites that are appearing in both controlled laboratory and field samples: hydroxy and methoxy metabolites.
Researchers have found several of the metabolites to be more environmentally prevalent than others.
AccuStandard responded to this and consequently synthesised those first.
AccuStandard offers over 35,000 organic and inorganic chemical reference standards, and stocks in several locations around the world for quick delivery.
AccuStandard supplies, manufactures and also synthesises standards for the environmental and petrochemical industries.
Recognised for its wide range of both routine and rare standards, AccuStandard is certified to ISO 9001:2000 and says it is the standards manufacturer with the most comprehensive line of organic and inorganic standards which is approved by the US government's Nist as a proficiency provider under the NVLap programme (lab code 200389-0).
