Description

2-Methylbutane-D12 (Isopentane) 98 is a deuterated isotopologue of isopentane, where all hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium, resulting in a high-purity, isotopically labeled compound. This deuteration is critical for applications requiring minimal spectral interference and enhanced stability in analytical and research settings. It is an essential material for NMR spectroscopy, organic synthesis, and as a tracer in chemical and petroleum research.

Application

• NMR Spectroscopy: Used as a deuterated solvent or internal standard to provide a non-interfering signal in proton NMR analysis.
• Organic Synthesis & Catalysis Research: Serves as a labeled reagent or solvent in mechanistic studies and the synthesis of deuterated compounds.
• Petroleum & Fuel Research: Acts as a stable isotopic tracer in studies of fuel combustion, cracking processes, and hydrocarbon flow dynamics.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Employed in mass spectrometry and chromatography as a high-purity calibration standard.
• Polymer Science: Used in the study of polymerization kinetics and the development of novel polymeric materials.
• Environmental Science: Applied in tracer studies to monitor the fate and transport of volatile organic compounds.

Quality Control

Our 2-Methylbutane-D12 (Isopentane) 98 is manufactured under strict quality systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high isotopic purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analysis, including NMR and GC-MS, to verify deuteration level and chemical purity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications 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 nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and potential concentration changes. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C (36-46°F) to maximize stability.
