General description

Heptachlor, a chlorinated cyclodiene, is generally used as chiral pesticide.

Application

Heptachlor may be used as an insecticide analytical standard for the determination of the analyte:
  • In groundwater samples by solid phase microextraction (SPME) method with a polyacrylate fibre, prior to detection by gas chromatography mass spectrometry in electron impact ionisation mode (GC–EI-MS).
  • In fruits and vegetables using solid phase extraction clean-up followed by gas chromatography and electron-capture detection (GC–ECD).
Heptachlor was used in determination of concentration levels of heptachlor in dry fish using gas chromatography with electron capture detector.
Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.
