Description

(E,E)-Farnesol 11,11,11,12,12,12-D6 CAS NO 166447-71-8 is a high-purity, deuterium-labeled analog of the naturally occurring sesquiterpene alcohol, farnesol. This isotopically labeled compound is essential for advanced analytical and research applications where precise molecular tracking and quantification are required. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, fragrance, and life science industries for use as an internal standard in mass spectrometry, metabolic pathway studies, and stable isotope labeling experiments.

Application

• Internal Standard for GC/MS and LC-MS Analysis: Provides accurate quantification of natural farnesol in complex biological and chemical matrices.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Used in pharmacokinetic and drug metabolism studies to track the fate of farnesol and its derivatives.
• Stable Isotope Labeling Research: Enables detailed investigation of biosynthetic pathways in microbiology and plant science.
• Fragrance and Flavor R&D: Serves as a non-radioactive tracer in the development and analysis of terpene-based fragrance compounds.
• Biochemical Research: Utilized in studies of protein prenylation, apoptosis, and other cellular processes where farnesol acts as a signaling molecule.
• Quality Control Reference Material: Acts as a certified reference standard for ensuring the accuracy of analytical methods in quality assurance laboratories.
