Description

n-Hexadecane-D34 is a deuterated, isotopically labeled analog of n-hexadecane, a straight-chain alkane. This high-purity standard is essential for applications requiring precise internal standards or non-interfering tracers in complex analytical matrices. It is particularly valuable for researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, environmental, and advanced materials sectors. The compound's fully deuterated hydrocarbon chain provides distinct spectroscopic properties critical for modern analytical techniques.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Used as a quantitative reference standard in GC-MS and LC-MS analyses of hydrocarbons, lipids, and petrochemical products.
• NMR Spectroscopy Solvent & Standard: Serves as an inert, deuterated solvent or chemical shift reference in nuclear magnetic resonance studies, especially for organic and polymer chemistry.
• Tracer Studies in Chemical Engineering: Employed in research on fluid dynamics, reaction kinetics, and diffusion processes due to its isotopic label.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Acts as a stable, non-reactive component in drug formulation studies and metabolic pathway tracing.
• Polymer Science & Lubricant Research: Used as a model compound or additive in studies of polymer crystallization, lubricant properties, and surfactant interactions.
• Environmental Analysis: Functions as a recovery standard or tracer in the analysis of petroleum hydrocarbons and other environmental contaminants.

Quality Control

Our n-Hexadecane-D34 is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including NMR and mass spectrometry, to confirm isotopic purity and chemical identity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results for isotopic enrichment, chemical purity, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment. We support traceability and compliance for research and industrial applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are securely sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and potential concentration changes. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
