Description

Acetyl-13C2 Bromide is a stable isotope-labeled reagent, specifically a carbon-13 enriched derivative of acetyl bromide. This compound is essential for advanced analytical and synthetic chemistry, providing a non-radioactive tracer for precise metabolic, mechanistic, and pharmacokinetic studies. It is a critical building block for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and analytical instrumentation industries who require high-fidelity isotopic labeling.

Application

• NMR Spectroscopy: Serves as a key carbon-13 labeled precursor for synthesizing internal standards and probes used in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Used in the synthesis of isotopically labeled drug candidates and metabolites for mass spectrometry-based pharmacokinetic (PK) and absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) studies.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Enables the detailed tracking and quantification of biochemical pathways in academic and industrial life science research.
• Organic Synthesis: Acts as a versatile acetylating agent for introducing a carbon-13 labeled acetyl group into complex organic molecules.
• Agrochemical Development: Utilized in creating labeled versions of pesticides or herbicides to study their environmental fate and degradation products.
• Diagnostic Agent Synthesis: A potential precursor for developing advanced medical imaging agents and diagnostic tools.

Quality Control

Every batch of Acetyl-13C2 Bromide is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols. We guarantee high chemical and isotopic purity, with specifications typically meeting or exceeding the requirements for research and development use. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment (e.g., 99 atom % ¹³C), chemical purity (by NMR, GC, or HPLC), and identity confirmation is provided with each shipment to ensure traceability and reliability for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and reacts violently with water, strong bases, and oxidizing agents. Keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) when not in use to maintain stability and purity.
