Description

Glycerol-1,3-13C2 CAS NO 102088-01-7 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of glycerol, specifically enriched with carbon-13 at the 1 and 3 positions. This precise labeling is critical for advanced research and analytical applications where metabolic pathway tracing and quantification are required. It is an essential reagent for scientists and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life science sectors who require high-purity, isotopically defined materials for mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy, and metabolic flux analysis.

Application

• Metabolic Flux Analysis (MFA): Used as a tracer to study central carbon metabolism in cell cultures, tissues, and microorganisms.
• Biomedical & Pharmaceutical Research: Enables the study of lipid metabolism, gluconeogenesis, and drug mechanisms of action in preclinical models.
• Quantitative Mass Spectrometry: Serves as an internal standard for the accurate quantification of glycerol and its derivatives in complex biological matrices.
• NMR Spectroscopy: Provides a non-radioactive, stable isotope probe for structural and dynamic studies of biochemical processes.
• Nutritional Science: Investigates the metabolism and utilization of dietary fats and carbohydrates.
• Diagnostic Assay Development: Used in the calibration and validation of clinical diagnostic kits for metabolic disorders.
