AccuStandard is renowned for its quick response to customer requests for new compounds and its partnership in developing new methods. For example, the offering of a wide variety of nonyl- and octylphenol ethoxylate derivatives led to the development of ASTM methods D7065-06 and D7485. The company’s Synthesis Department implements the design and manufacture of important and unique products. Significant pioneering achievements include the synthesis of all 209 PCB congeners and all of the 209 PBDE (polybrominated diphenyl ethers) congeners. Among the more recent introductions are the hydroxy and methoxy PBDE congeners and mixed bromo/chloro hydroxy and methoxy diphenyl ethers. The syntheses of pesticides, PCBs, PBDEs, PAHs, explosives and other organic pollutants, as well as their metabolites, are an integral part of the department’s efforts. Fluorinated PBDEs, synthesized in our lab, have been used to substitute the expensive isotopically labelled PBDE surrogates. Also, synthesis of the complete set of ethanesulfonic acid (ESA) and oxanilic acid (OA) pesticide derivatives has resulted in the addition of reference standards for EPA method 535.
