General description

Pyrene belongs to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon group. These are organic compounds which have two or more fused benzene rings in linear, angular and cluster arrangements. Pyrene is a four ring PAH.
Pyrene is a neat reference standard, which may be used for environmental analysis.

Application

Pyrene may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in environmental tobacco smoke samples using high-performance liquid chromatography technique.
Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.

Semivolatile and particulate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in environmental tobacco smoke: cleanup, speciation, and emission factors

Pyrene is one of the most frequently used lipid-linked fluorophores. Its most characteristic features are a long excited state lifetime and (local) concentration-dependent formation of excimers. Pyrene is also hydrophobic and thus does not significantly distort the conformation of the

Chemical Society reviews, 40(12), 5771-5788 (2011-04-14)
Pyrene-functionalized oligonucleotides (PFOs) are increasingly explored as tools in fundamental research, diagnostics and nanotechnology. Their popularity is linked to the ability of pyrenes to function as polarity-sensitive and quenchable fluorophores, excimer-generating units, aromatic stacking moieties and nucleic acid duplex intercalators.
Yan-Jun Huang et al.
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 135(5), 1700-1703 (2013-01-16)
Aggregates of an amphiphilic monoboronic acid bearing a hydrophobic pyrene fluorophore were employed for highly modulating, sensitive, and selective ratiometric fluorescent sensing of glucose in aqueous solution. The selectivity for glucose was improved by "knock-out" binding of fructose by phenylboronic
