Description

2-Methoxyethanol-1,1,2,2-D4 is a deuterated analog of 2-methoxyethanol, where four hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen. This deuteration is critical for applications requiring non-exchangeable deuterium labeling, such as in NMR spectroscopy and mechanistic studies. It is an essential reagent for researchers and industries in analytical chemistry, pharmaceutical development, and materials science, where isotopic tracing and solvent effects are investigated.

Application

• NMR Spectroscopy: Used as a deuterated solvent or internal standard for nuclear magnetic resonance analysis, providing a non-interfering signal.
• Mechanistic & Kinetic Studies: Serves as a tracer in chemical reaction pathways and metabolic studies within pharmaceutical and biochemical research.
• Mass Spectrometry: Employed as a labeling agent to aid in the identification and quantification of compounds via isotopic dilution techniques.
• Organic Synthesis & Catalysis: Utilized in specialized synthetic procedures where deuterium incorporation is required, or to study solvent isotope effects.
• Polymer & Materials Science: Acts as a probe or modifier in the study of polymer dynamics, interactions, and degradation mechanisms.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Provides a high-purity, isotopically labeled standard for calibration and validation in analytical laboratories.

Quality Control

Our 2-Methoxyethanol-1,1,2,2-D4 is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high isotopic purity. Each lot is characterized by advanced analytical techniques including NMR, GC-MS, and IR spectroscopy to confirm chemical identity, deuterium enrichment, and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and potential concentration changes. Recommended storage temperature is 2-25°C.
