Description

Acetic Acid-2-13C is a stable isotope-labeled analog of acetic acid, where the carbon atom at the 2-position is the carbon-13 (13C) isotope. This compound is essential as a critical tracer and internal standard in advanced analytical research, enabling precise metabolic pathway studies and quantitative analysis. It is primarily required by researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and agrochemical industries for applications in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and Mass Spectrometry (MS).

Application

• Metabolic Flux Analysis (MFA): Used as a 13C-labeled tracer to study and map intracellular metabolic pathways in biological systems.
• Quantitative NMR (qNMR): Serves as a high-purity internal standard for the accurate quantification of organic compounds.
• Mass Spectrometry Internal Standard: Employed in LC-MS and GC-MS workflows to improve accuracy and precision in quantitative bioanalysis and pharmacokinetic studies.
• Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics (DMPK): Facilitates the tracking of drug metabolites and the study of biotransformation pathways.
• Biochemical Research: A key reagent in enzymatic studies and the investigation of acetylation reactions.
• Chemical Synthesis: Used as a labeled building block for the synthesis of more complex 13C-labeled compounds for research.

Quality Control

Our Acetic Acid-2-13C is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analysis to ensure high chemical and isotopic purity, with testing typically including NMR and MS for isotopic enrichment verification and HPLC for chemical purity assessment. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results for assay, isotopic abundance, and impurities are provided and available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent and high volatility, ensure containers are securely sealed to prevent evaporation and are stored upright to avoid leakage.
