Scientific Background Information

Product Description

Mono-methyl phthalate (MMP) is a phthalate metabolite. MMP is studied as a biodegradation product of dimethyl phthalate (DMP), a common plasticizer. It serves as an indicator of phthalate pollution and microbial degradation activity. MMP is a metabolite found in biological fluids (e.g., urine) following exposure to DMP. It's used as a biomarker in human exposure studies to assess phthalate intake and for example phthalates exposure and can be used as a reference for the determination of thyroid cancer and benign nodule. This compound can be used as a reference compound in LC-MS, GC-MS, and other analytical techniques for quantifying phthalate contamination in food, water, and environmental samples.
