Metofluthrin
Metofluthrin belongs to the pyrethroid family of synthetic insecticides and is used principally as a spatial repellent and adulticide against mosquitoes in domestic and public-health settings. Its structure, summarised as C18H20F4O3 with a molecular weight of 360.34, incorporates a tetrafluorobenzyl moiety that distinguishes it from earlier members of the class. Analytical laboratories purchase this reference material to develop and validate residue methods, to confirm identity through retention time and mass spectral comparison, and to build calibration standards for environmental and product testing. The material is a light yellow liquid that should be kept at -20 °C (±5 °C) and is dispatched with ice packs. Pack sizes offered include 1 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, 250 mg and 500 mg. Certificates of analysis and quotations are available on request.
