1,6-Dinitropyrene

About 1,6-Dinitropyrene

1,6-Dinitropyrene is a nitrosamine impurity of Pyrene carrying the CAS registry number 42397-64-8. Formula C16H8N2O4, molecular weight 292.24 g/mol. It is also known as Pyrene, 1,6-dinitro- or 1,6-Dinitropyrene [Nitroarenes].

It is supplied as a solid. Store the standard in its sealed vial, protected from light and moisture, and follow the storage condition printed on the COA. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

Laboratories use this nitrosamine standard to develop and validate highly sensitive LC-MS/MS methods, to confirm limits of detection and to document nitrosamine risk assessments in regulatory submissions. Buyers come mainly from pharmaceutical manufacturing and academic and industrial research.

We offer 1,6-Dinitropyrene in 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg packs with a batch-specific COA, and ship to customers worldwide.
