Description

Ethane-D6 is a deuterated analog of ethane, where all six hydrogen atoms are replaced by the stable isotope deuterium. This high isotopic purity makes it an essential internal standard and tracer in advanced analytical chemistry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, pharmaceutical developers, and analytical laboratories for quantitative analysis, metabolic studies, and as a critical component in the calibration of sensitive instrumentation.

Application

• NMR Spectroscopy: Serves as a primary chemical shift reference and solvent for analyzing organic compounds and polymers.
• Mass Spectrometry (MS): Used as an internal standard for the accurate quantification of light hydrocarbons and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
• Chemical Reaction Tracing: Acts as a non-radioactive isotopic tracer in mechanistic studies of catalytic and metabolic pathways.
• Analytical Standard: Provides a certified reference material for calibrating gas chromatographs and other analytical equipment.
• Deuterated Solvent Production: Employed as a precursor in the synthesis of other deuterated reagents and solvents.
• Fundamental Research: Used in physical chemistry experiments to study isotope effects on reaction rates and molecular properties.

Quality Control

Our Ethane-D6 is produced and handled under stringent quality management protocols to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity. Each batch is analyzed using advanced techniques including NMR and GC-MS to verify compliance with exacting customer specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA), detailing isotopic enrichment, purity, and impurity profiles, is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and ignition points. Due to its highly volatile and gaseous nature under standard conditions, cylinders must be secured and handled in accordance with local regulations for compressed gases. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use.
