Description

α-Farnesene-D6 is a deuterated isotopologue of the natural sesquiterpene α-farnesene, specifically labeled with six deuterium atoms. This high-purity, stable-labeled standard is critical for ensuring analytical accuracy and reliability in quantitative mass spectrometry and NMR studies. It is an essential tool for researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and flavor & fragrance industries who require precise internal standards for method development, validation, and trace analysis.

Application

• Internal Standard for Quantitative Analysis: Used as a stable isotope-labeled internal standard in LC-MS and GC-MS for the accurate quantification of native α-farnesene in complex matrices.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Employed in biochemical and pharmacological research to study the metabolism, absorption, and distribution of farnesene derivatives.
• Method Development & Validation: Serves as a critical reference material for developing and validating robust analytical methods in compliance with GLP and ICH guidelines.
• Quality Control & Impurity Profiling: Enables precise impurity identification and assay determination in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals.
• Dilution Mass Spectrometry (IDMS): A key component in isotope dilution mass spectrometry, the gold-standard technique for achieving highest accuracy in measurement science.
• Fragrance & Flavor Research: Used in the analysis and quality assurance of natural products, essential oils, and synthetic flavor compounds.

Quality Control

Every batch of α-Farnesene-D6 is manufactured and analyzed under strict quality systems. We guarantee high chemical and isotopic purity through comprehensive testing via NMR, GC-MS, and HPLC. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting batch-specific data for assay, isotopic enrichment, and impurity profile. Our quality commitment ensures the material is suitable for demanding analytical applications requiring traceability and reliability.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at 2-8°C (refrigerated) or as indicated on the label or COA. Due to its highly volatile nature, allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation. For long-term storage under inert atmosphere, please contact us.
