Description

Ethanol-D6 CAS NO 1516-08-1 is a deuterated isotopologue of ethanol, where all six hydrogen atoms are replaced by the stable isotope deuterium. This high-purity deuterated solvent is essential for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, serving as a critical tool for non-destructive structural elucidation and quantitative analysis. It is primarily required by analytical laboratories, pharmaceutical R&D departments, and academic research institutions engaged in advanced molecular characterization.

Application

• Primary solvent for ¹H NMR spectroscopy, providing a deuterium lock signal and a non-interfering spectral background.
• Used in the synthesis of deuterium-labeled compounds for metabolic and pharmacokinetic studies in pharmaceutical research.
• Essential for FTIR and mass spectrometry applications where solvent interference must be minimized.
• Employed as a tracer in chemical reaction mechanism studies and isotope effect investigations.
• Critical component in quality control laboratories for the analysis of complex organic molecules.
• Used in the preparation of standards for analytical method development and validation.

Quality Control

Our Ethanol-D6 is manufactured and tested to meet the stringent requirements of spectroscopic and synthetic applications. Each batch is subjected to rigorous analysis to ensure high isotopic purity and chemical purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment (D atom %), assay, water content, and spectral performance is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical research.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept upright and sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and contamination.
