Description

Acetonitrile-2-13C CAS NO 1722-09-4 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of acetonitrile, where the carbon atom at the 2-position is the carbon-13 isotope. This isotopic enrichment makes it an indispensable tool for advanced analytical research, providing a distinct spectroscopic signature for precise tracking and quantification. It is primarily used by researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and metabolomics fields who require high-purity standards for internal standards, tracer studies, and NMR spectroscopy.

Application

• Internal Standard for Quantitative Analysis by GC-MS or LC-MS
• Tracer Studies in Metabolic Pathway Research and Drug Metabolism (ADME)
• NMR Spectroscopy Solvent and Reference Standard
• Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry (IDMS) for Accurate Quantification
• Pharmaceutical Impurity Profiling and Degradation Studies
• Environmental Fate Studies of Chemical Pollutants
• Synthesis of More Complex Carbon-13 Labeled Intermediates
• Quality Control and Method Development in Analytical Laboratories
