Description

Potassium Carbonate (13C) is a stable isotope-labeled compound where the carbon atoms are enriched with the Carbon-13 isotope. This product, with CAS number 122570-45-0, is an essential tool for advanced analytical research, providing a non-radioactive tracer for precise metabolic and mechanistic studies. It is primarily required by research institutions, pharmaceutical development labs, and agrochemical companies engaged in isotope dilution mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy, and metabolic pathway analysis.

Application

• Internal standard for the accurate quantification of potassium carbonate in complex matrices using Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry (IDMS).
• Tracer compound in NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectroscopy for structural elucidation and reaction mechanism studies.
• Critical reagent in metabolic flux analysis to track carbon pathways in biological systems.
• Precursor for the synthesis of other Carbon-13 labeled compounds in pharmaceutical and chemical research.
• Use in environmental science for tracing carbonates in geological and aqueous systems.
• Calibration standard for enhancing the accuracy of analytical instruments in certified testing laboratories.

Quality Control

Our Potassium Carbonate (13C) is produced and tested under stringent conditions to ensure high isotopic and chemical purity, meeting the exacting requirements of research applications. Each batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment (typically ≥99 atom % 13C), chemical purity, and trace impurity profiles. We adhere to cGMP principles for consistent quality and reliable supply for critical research and development.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture and CO2.
