Description

Deuterium Bromide is a deuterated analog of hydrogen bromide, where the hydrogen atom is replaced by the stable isotope deuterium. This isotopic labeling makes it a critical reagent in advanced research fields such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mechanistic studies in organic and inorganic chemistry. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, pharmaceutical R&D departments, and specialty chemical manufacturers for applications requiring precise isotopic tracing and synthesis of deuterated compounds.

Application

• As a deuterium source in the synthesis of deuterium-labeled compounds for use as analytical standards or in metabolic studies.
• As a reagent in mechanistic organic chemistry research to study reaction pathways via kinetic isotope effects.
• For the preparation of deuterated catalysts and materials used in specialized spectroscopic analysis.
• In NMR spectroscopy as a chemical shift reference or for solvent preparation in specific deuterium NMR experiments.
• Used in the electronics industry for etching and surface modification processes in semiconductor fabrication.
• As a precursor in the production of other deuterium-containing inorganic and organometallic compounds.

Quality Control

Our Deuterium Bromide is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure isotopic purity and chemical integrity. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR for isotopic enrichment verification and titration for chemical assay. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, isotopic content, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your research specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent and highly volatile compound, containers must be kept tightly sealed and upright to prevent leakage and pressure buildup. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability.
