Description

Catechol (13C6) is a stable isotope-labeled analog of catechol, where all six carbon atoms are the non-radioactive carbon-13 isotope. This compound is essential as an internal standard for precise quantitative analysis in advanced mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy applications. It is primarily used by researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, environmental, and metabolomics fields to ensure accurate and reliable measurement of catechol and related compounds.

Application

• Internal Standard for LC-MS/MS and GC-MS quantification of catechol in complex biological matrices.
• Tracer compound in metabolic pathway studies and flux analysis to understand biochemical processes.
• Reference material for calibrating analytical instruments and validating methods in pharmaceutical impurity profiling.
• Use in environmental testing for the accurate measurement of catechol and its derivatives in water and soil samples.
• Critical component in the synthesis of isotopically labeled polymers or complex organic molecules for research.
• Quality control standard in the production of chemicals and materials where catechol is a key intermediate or impurity.
