Description

Acetonitrile-13C2,15N is a stable isotope-labeled analog of acetonitrile, where all carbon atoms are the carbon-13 isotope and the nitrogen atom is the nitrogen-15 isotope. This compound is essential as a premium internal standard and tracer in advanced analytical and research applications, providing unmatched accuracy for quantitative analysis. It is primarily required by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, contract research organizations (CROs), and academic institutions engaged in mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and metabolic studies.

Application

• Internal Standard for Quantitative Mass Spectrometry (MS): Used in LC-MS and GC-MS for precise quantification of acetonitrile or related compounds in complex matrices.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracer: Employed in 13C and 15N labeling studies to elucidate biochemical pathways and drug metabolism.
• NMR Spectroscopy Solvent & Reference: Serves as a chemical shift reference or solvent in high-resolution NMR experiments due to its isotopic purity.
• Pharmaceutical Impurity Profiling: Critical for accurately identifying and quantifying genotoxic impurities and process-related substances in API development.
• Environmental Analysis: Acts as a labeled standard for tracking acetonitrile and its derivatives in environmental samples.
• Forensic Toxicology: Utilized as a reference standard for the definitive identification of substances in forensic investigations.
• Stable Isotope Labeled Compound Synthesis: A key building block for synthesizing more complex molecules labeled with 13C and 15N.
