Description

Benzoic Acid-Carboxy-14C is a carbon-14 labeled derivative of benzoic acid, a fundamental aromatic carboxylic acid. This isotopically labeled compound is essential for precise metabolic and pharmacokinetic studies, providing a reliable tracer for analytical detection. It is a critical tool for researchers and quality control professionals in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and environmental science industries who require accurate tracking of molecular pathways and degradation products.

Application

• Metabolic Pathway Tracing in pharmaceutical drug development and toxicology studies.
• Environmental Fate Studies to track the degradation and movement of benzoic acid and related compounds in ecosystems.
• Biochemical Research as a labeled precursor or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex radiolabeled molecules.
• Analytical Method Development and validation, serving as an internal standard in Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) and other techniques.
• Agrochemical Research for studying the metabolism of pesticides or herbicides that incorporate benzoic acid structures.
• Quality Control in manufacturing processes where tracking specific carbon atoms is necessary for regulatory compliance.

Quality Control

Every batch of Benzoic Acid-Carboxy-14C is produced and analyzed under strict quality protocols to ensure chemical, radiochemical, and isotopic purity. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific activity, radiochemical purity (by HPLC or TLC), chemical purity, and solvent content are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) or as specified on the label or COA. This material is light-sensitive (store away from light) and easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere). For long-term storage, keep under an inert atmosphere such as argon or nitrogen. Follow all applicable radiation safety and laboratory guidelines for handling and disposal.
