Description

D-Sorbitol-Ul-14C is a carbon-14 labeled isotopologue of D-Sorbitol, a key sugar alcohol widely used in research and development. This labeled compound is essential for conducting precise metabolic, pharmacokinetic, and tracer studies, enabling scientists to track the absorption, distribution, and fate of sorbitol in biological systems. It is a critical tool for researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, food science, and nutritional biochemistry industries who require high-purity, stable-isotope labeled materials for advanced analytical applications.

Application

• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Used as a radiolabeled tracer to study the metabolism and catabolism of sorbitol in vivo and in vitro.
• Pharmacokinetic Studies: Facilitates the investigation of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) profiles of sorbitol and related compounds.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in enzyme assays and studies of the polyol pathway, particularly relevant to diabetes research.
• Quality Control & Method Development: Serves as an internal standard or reference material in advanced analytical techniques like LC-MS for accurate quantification.
• Food Science Research: Used to trace the utilization and stability of sorbitol as a sweetener and humectant in complex food matrices.
• Environmental Fate Studies: Applied to monitor the biodegradation and environmental transport of sorbitol-derived compounds.
