Description

Vinyl-13C2 Acetate is a stable isotope-labeled analog of vinyl acetate, where two carbon atoms are replaced with the carbon-13 isotope. This compound is essential for advanced research and analytical applications requiring precise molecular tracing and quantification. It is primarily utilized by scientists and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science industries for metabolic studies, reaction mechanism elucidation, and as an internal standard in mass spectrometry.

Application

• Isotopic Tracer in Metabolic Studies: Used in pharmaceutical and biochemical research to track the metabolic pathways of acetate and acetyl-CoA in biological systems.
• Internal Standard for Quantitative Analysis: Serves as a critical internal standard in GC-MS and LC-MS methods for the accurate quantification of vinyl acetate and related compounds in complex matrices.
• Mechanistic Studies in Polymer Chemistry: Employed to investigate polymerization mechanisms, kinetics, and the microstructure of polyvinyl acetate and related copolymers.
• Synthesis of Labeled Compounds: Acts as a key building block for the synthesis of more complex carbon-13 labeled intermediates for research and development.
• Environmental Fate and Transport Studies: Applied in environmental science to study the degradation and behavior of vinyl acetate derivatives in ecosystems.
• NMR Spectroscopy: Used as a probe in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy due to the distinct signal of the 13C nuclei.

Quality Control

Every batch of Vinyl-13C2 Acetate is produced and analyzed under strict quality management protocols to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment (typically ≥99 atom % 13C), chemical purity by GC, and identity confirmation by NMR and IR spectroscopy. Our quality system is designed to meet the rigorous standards required for research and analytical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated place at 2-8°C (refrigerated) or as specified on the label. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. For long-term storage under inert atmosphere, consult the specific handling guidelines.
