Pesticide Standards Reference Guide AccuStandard® Over 1,000 Standards from Abamectin to Ziram Pesticide Desk Reference Guide This guide includes the following information (if available) Updated ■ Chemical name ■ Structure ■ CAS number ■ Molecular formula ■ Molecular weight ■ Physical state Included for most: ■ Solvent solubility ■ Specific gravity ■ Melting or Boiling point ■ Flash point ■ Common Synonyms Purchased Standards vs In-house Standards 1. Safety - Using solutions rather than neats reduces the laboratory personnel’s exposure to chemicals. Additionally, labs do not have to store and dispose of the neat materials. 2. Certification - Many laboratories are required to use independently produced reference standards. AccuStandard is accredited to ISO Guide 34 for the preparation and certification of reference materials. 3. Cost effective - Purchasing bulk bottles of pesicides, making the solution and disposing of the waste is usually more expensive than using a pre-made solution. Some pesticides may require a ColdPAK for shipping to preserve the integrity of the product.

IPA Isopropanol M Methanol MC Methyl cellosolve T Toluene TP Isooctane W Water Ordering Options Information on Pesticides Catalog Numbers Pesticide Catalog Numbers have 5 parts: 1. The initial P- specifies the product is a Pesticide. 2. The following 3 or 4 numbers are sequentially assigned, and are unique to the chemical. 3. The next character (an N or S) specifies whether the product is Neat or in Solution. 4. “-” with letters specify a solvent other than Methanol (MeOH). 5. “-” with a number followed by an X specifies the concentration difference from the 100 µg/mL (ex: -10X is 1000 µg/mL). Check for availability. Example: P-017S is Chlordane at 100 µg/mL in Methanol P-017N is Chlordane neat (10 mg) P-017S-H-10X is Chlordane at 1000 µg/mL in Hexane Key to symbols appearing in the table: in Acetone (-A) in Hexane (-H) in Toluene (-T) in Acetonitrile (-CN) in Isooctane (-TP) in Water (-W) in Ethyl acetate (-EA) in Methyl cellosolve (-MC) in Dimethyl sulfoxide (-DMSO) Can’t find a Pesticide? Search using CAS Numbers Index in back of the catalog. Purchasing Neat Pesticides There are two ways to purchase neat standards: Nominal weight and exact weight (see box below). For your standard preparation (nominal or exact), rinse the sample out of the vial and cap with solvent and dilute to achieve the desired concentration. Unless specified, neat samples are provided with nominal weights. Typically, the vial contains approximately 10% more of the product, however it is not known when you receive your standard what the exact amount is in the vial. Below is a standard procedure for re- moving all the neat material from the vial and determining the exact weight of the material in the vial. Small amounts (5-10 mg) of powder often are spread over the surface of the vial and cap. If the chemical is a liquid, it may coat the walls as a thin layer invisible to the eye. To recover all of the contents contained in a vial of neat material, please use the procedure described below: 1. Wipe the outside of the vial (containing the standard) clean and dry (including the cap). 2. Weigh the entire unit on an analytical balance. Record the weight to the nearest 0.1 mg. 3. Carefully transfer the contents to a volumetric flask using a suitable solvent. Rinse the cap and vial several times to assure a complete transfer. 4. Dry inside and outside of the vial and cap with mild heat or inert gas. 5. Weigh the empty dry vial on the same analytical balance to the nearest 0.1 mg and calculate by difference the amount of material transferred. Ordering Exact Weight for neat pesticides Neat pesticides are typically overfilled by approximately 10%, however, an exact weight is available for an additional charge. Specify X-WT when placing the order to take advantage of this service. A printout of the exact weight will be attached to the product label. Rinse the pesticide out of the vial with the desired solvent and dilute to volume to get a weight/volume standard. Custom Formulations 25-Plus Years Custom Formulation Experience Custom Standards are a cost and time saving alternative Custom pesticide formulations can be prepared for residue screening and other applications. QC options 1. Gravimetric/Volumetric Certification: Each compound is measured gravimetrically and QC verified instrumentally (where applicable). Every component in the Standard will be within +/- 0.5% of the requested value unless otherwise stated on the Certificate of Analysis. The solutions are diluted to volume using Class A glassware. A Certificate of Analysis accompanies each Standard and documents the gravimetric values. 2. Full Quantitative Certification: This QA/QC method includes extended GC, GC/MS or LC analysis using both internal calibration standards plus statistical analysis. Private Labeling / OEM Manufactured and Tested to meet your specifications Auto Filling/Sealing Machine: • Ampule sizes 0.2 mL - 20 mL • Quantites 500 to 500K Contact Technical Service for inquiries Labels, Safety, Storage and Packaging All organic solutions are in 2 mL Ampules, filled to approximately 1.2 mL to ensure 1 mL can be transferred. 2-Part Label System Smudgeproof, tear and solvent resistant * Part One can be placed into a laboratory journal to document the standard used for the analysis. This label section includes the catalog number, description, lot number, expiration date, safety information, proper storage conditions and documents AccuStandard as the manufacturer. Part Two duplicates required information for labeling transfer vial(s) with correct information. * Includes the most common solvents: Methylene chloride, Methanol and Acetone Usage, Handing and Storage Amber ampules are used to ensure the integrity of the contents. The ampule contains at least 120% of the stated volume of a solution, allowing easy transfer. Transfer the required amount using a pipet or clean gastight syringe. Excess solution can be stored in a tightly capped vial. Expiration dates are determined by short- term and long-term stability studies, experience and knowledge of chemical GHS Symbols interactions.
