Description

Acetaldehyde, [1,2-14C] CAS NO 1632-97-9 is a carbon-14 radiolabeled isotopologue of acetaldehyde, a fundamental aldehyde used extensively as a tracer in metabolic and biochemical research. This compound is critical for enabling precise tracking of acetaldehyde's metabolic pathways, degradation, and incorporation into larger molecules. It is an essential tool for researchers and scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and environmental sectors who require high-specific-activity materials for advanced analytical studies, including LC-MS and autoradiography.

Application

• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Used to study the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of acetaldehyde and related compounds in biological systems.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Employed in the development and validation of new drugs, particularly in investigating drug metabolism and potential toxicological pathways involving acetaldehyde.
• Biochemical Studies: Serves as a labeled precursor in enzymatic studies and in tracing the biosynthesis of various compounds derived from acetyl-CoA.
• Environmental Science: Applied in research on the environmental fate and biodegradation of acetaldehyde and similar volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
• Agrochemical Development: Utilized in studies to understand the metabolism and environmental impact of pesticides and herbicides that may degrade to or interact with aldehydes.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediary: Acts as a labeled building block for the synthesis of more complex carbon-14 labeled compounds for research purposes.

Quality Control

Every batch of Acetaldehyde, [1,2-14C] is produced and analyzed under strict quality control protocols to ensure the highest standards of radiochemical purity, chemical purity, and specific activity. Our commitment to quality ensures reliable and reproducible results for your critical research. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with each shipment, detailing specific activity, radiochemical purity (typically by HPLC), chemical purity, and solvent composition. We adhere to relevant Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) principles for the production of labeled compounds.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at recommended cold chain temperatures (e.g., -20°C or below) to maintain stability and specific activity. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
