Description

Ethyl-1-13C Alcohol is a stable isotope-labeled analog of ethanol, where a carbon-13 atom is specifically incorporated at the C-1 position. This precise labeling is critical for applications requiring high-fidelity molecular tracing and quantification, offering distinct advantages over unlabeled compounds. It is an essential reagent for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, metabolomics, and analytical chemistry sectors who require internal standards for mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy, and metabolic flux analysis.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Used as a quantitative reference standard in GC-MS and LC-MS analyses for accurate measurement of ethanol and related metabolites in biological and chemical samples.
• NMR Spectroscopy: Serves as a crucial tracer and reference compound in Carbon-13 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (13C NMR) studies for structural elucidation and reaction mechanism analysis.
• Metabolic Research & Flux Analysis: Employed in tracing metabolic pathways in vivo and in vitro to study ethanol metabolism, fermentation processes, and cellular bioenergetics.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Utilized in the synthesis of isotope-labeled drug candidates and metabolites for pharmacokinetic (PK) and absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) studies.
• Forensic & Clinical Toxicology: Acts as a high-purity standard for calibrating equipment and verifying results in assays detecting blood alcohol content and other forensic applications.
• Chemical Synthesis: Used as a labeled building block for the preparation of more complex carbon-13 labeled organic compounds and fine chemicals.
