Description

Ethyl-2-13C Alcohol is a stable isotope-labeled analog of ethanol, where the carbon atom at the 2-position is the carbon-13 (13C) isotope. This compound is essential as a tracer molecule in advanced research, enabling precise metabolic and mechanistic studies. It is primarily utilized by the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and academic research sectors for applications in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and metabolic flux analysis.

Application

• Metabolic Tracer Studies: Used in 13C-NMR and LC-MS to track and quantify metabolic pathways in biological systems.
• Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics (DMPK): Serves as an internal standard for the accurate quantification of ethanol and its metabolites in bioanalytical assays.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in enzymatic studies to investigate reaction mechanisms and enzyme kinetics.
• Environmental Science: Applied in studies monitoring the biodegradation and environmental fate of ethanol and related compounds.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a labeled building block for the synthesis of more complex 13C-labeled compounds for research.
• Forensic Analysis: Used as a reference standard in forensic toxicology for precise ethanol measurement.

Quality Control

Our Ethyl-2-13C Alcohol is produced and tested to meet the exacting standards required for isotopic labeling and research applications. Each batch is characterized to confirm isotopic enrichment (typically ≥99 atom % 13C), chemical purity, and the absence of critical impurities. Comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing NMR, GC-MS, and isotopic abundance data are provided to ensure traceability and support your regulatory compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area. Due to its highly volatile nature, keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. For long-term stability, storage at 2-8°C is recommended.
