Description

Acetophenone-α-13C CAS NO 10383-88-7 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of acetophenone, where the carbonyl carbon is enriched with the carbon-13 isotope. This precise labeling is critical for applications requiring high sensitivity and specificity in analytical detection and metabolic pathway elucidation. It is an essential material for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and analytical chemistry sectors who rely on advanced spectroscopic and mass spectrometric techniques.

Application

• Internal Standard for Quantitative Analysis: Used as a reference standard in GC-MS and LC-MS for the accurate quantification of acetophenone and related compounds in complex matrices.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Employed in pharmaceutical and biochemical research to track the metabolic fate of drug candidates and bioactive molecules using 13C-NMR spectroscopy.
• Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry (IDMS): Serves as a spike in IDMS methods to achieve high-precision measurements in environmental analysis and clinical diagnostics.
• Synthesis of Labeled Compounds: Acts as a key synthetic building block for preparing more complex 13C-labeled intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Spectroscopic Studies: Utilized in fundamental research to study reaction mechanisms and kinetics via isotope effects.

Quality Control

Every batch of Acetophenone-α-13C is produced and tested under stringent quality management protocols to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity. Our standard specifications are designed to meet the rigorous demands of research and regulated industries. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA), detailing isotopic enrichment, chemical purity, and identity confirmation, is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept upright and sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and potential concentration changes.
