Description

Indoleacetic Acid-13C6 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of the essential plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), where six carbon atoms are replaced with the 13C isotope. This high-purity labeled compound is critical for advanced analytical research, enabling precise quantification and metabolic pathway tracing without isotopic interference. It is primarily utilized by researchers and analytical laboratories in the fields of plant physiology, agrochemical development, and environmental science for use as an internal standard in mass spectrometry.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Serves as a crucial reference compound for the accurate quantification of endogenous indole-3-acetic acid in complex biological matrices via GC-MS or LC-MS.
• Plant Hormone Research: Used in tracer studies to investigate the biosynthesis, metabolism, transport, and signaling pathways of auxins in plants.
• Agrochemical Analysis: Employed in the development and validation of analytical methods for screening plant growth regulators and their metabolites in crop samples.
• Environmental Fate Studies: Aids in studying the degradation, uptake, and translocation of synthetic auxin-like herbicides in soil and plant systems.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Potential use in metabolic studies related to compounds with indole scaffolds.
• Quality Control & Method Development: Essential for laboratories requiring high-accuracy calibration and ensuring data integrity in regulatory-compliant analysis.
