General description

2,3-Dinitrotoluene is classified under the group of nitroaromatic compounds, which are organic nitro derivatives of analytical research interest. It is considered as a ubiquitous environmental contaminant and can adversely affect human health because of its mutagenic and/or carcinogenic nature.

Application

2,3-Dinitrotoluene may be used as an analytical standard for the determination of the analyte in forensic samples, explosive-contaminated groundwater samples, industrial effluents and seawater samples by various chromatographic techniques.
Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.
