It is intended to be used as a certified reference material (CRM) for calibration in chromatography and other analytical techniques. Isoxaben CRM may also find its use as described below:

• To measure the effect of isoxaben on the incorporation of radiolabeled glucose leucine uracil and acetate into acid-insoluble cell wall material protein nucleic acids and fatty acids respectively in Arabidopsis thaliana
• To determine the relative toxicities of isoxaben and two of its primary metabolites in soybean and wheat cell cultures
• To investigate the effect of trifluralin pronamide haloxyfop-p methyl propaquizafop and isoxaben on weed control and oilseed rape yield
• To study the degradation of isoxaben in soil and an aqueous system followed by isolation and identification of degradation products formed
• To examine the effect of four different organic wastes composted sheep manure spent coffee grounds composted pine bark and coir on potential groundwater pollution of propanil isoxaben cadusafos and pencycuron under laboratory conditions
