High-purity reference materials for accurate residue analysis in food and environmental testing.

Overview

Benzidine, also known as [1,1′-Biphenyl]-4,4′-diamine, is an organic compound with the formula (C₆H₄NH₂)₂. It appears as a grayish-yellow, reddish-gray, or white crystalline powder and is used in the production of dyes and in tests for cyanide.

Uses

Benzidine is primarily used in the production of dyes, such as the Congo red dye. It was also historically used in tests for blood and cyanide.

Regulatory

Benzidine is classified as a carcinogen, and its use has been significantly restricted in many countries. In the U.S., benzidine dyes are listed in the EPA's List of Chemicals of Concern. In the UK, its manufacture has been illegal since 2002 under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations.

Monitoring

Monitoring for benzidine residues in food and the environment is crucial for ensuring compliance with regulatory limits. Laboratories require high-purity reference materials to conduct accurate and reliable residue analysis.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Benzidine has been linked to bladder and pancreatic cancer. It is highly carcinogenic, and exposure should be minimized to prevent adverse health effects.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

Benzidine can have detrimental effects on wildlife, particularly aquatic organisms. Its release into the environment should be strictly controlled to prevent ecological damage.

Safety Measures

Proper safety measures should be in place when handling benzidine, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and adherence to safety protocols to minimize exposure risks.

Regulation

Regulatory bodies such as the EPA and OSHA have established guidelines for the safe handling and disposal of benzidine. Compliance with these regulations is essential for laboratory safety and environmental protection.

Analytical Standards

HPC Standards GmbH provides high-purity reference materials for benzidine, tested according to international quality requirements. These reference materials are essential for laboratories conducting residue analysis to ensure compliance with regulatory limits.
