Description

Methylcyclopentane-D12 is a deuterated isotopologue of methylcyclopentane, where all twelve hydrogen atoms are replaced with the stable isotope deuterium. This high-purity labeled compound is essential for applications requiring minimal spectral interference from proton signals. It serves as a critical analytical standard and solvent in advanced spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques. Key industries that rely on this specialty chemical include pharmaceutical research, analytical chemistry, and materials science for precise internal standardization and mechanistic studies.

Application

• NMR Spectroscopy: Used as a deuterated solvent or internal standard for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis, providing a lock signal and a chemical shift reference.
• Mass Spectrometry: Employed as a stable isotope-labeled internal standard for quantitative analysis via GC-MS or LC-MS, improving accuracy and precision.
• Mechanistic Studies: Utilized in reaction kinetics and metabolic pathway tracing to investigate mechanisms without interference from protonated species.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Critical in drug discovery and development for the analysis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and metabolites using deuterated analogs.
• Polymer Science: Applied in the analysis of polymer structures and dynamics where proton background must be minimized.
• Environmental Analysis: Serves as a tracer or standard in the detection and quantification of organic pollutants.

Quality Control

Our Methylcyclopentane-D12 is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure the highest isotopic and chemical purity required for sensitive analytical applications. Each batch is characterized by advanced spectroscopic methods, including NMR and mass spectrometry, to confirm deuterium enrichment and chemical identity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic purity, chemical purity, and solvent residue levels are provided with every shipment. We adhere to relevant industry standards for high-purity labeled compounds to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and reliability.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated place away from heat sources and open flames. Recommended storage temperature is between 2°C and 25°C. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and potential contamination.
