Description

ε-Caprolactam-D10 is a deuterated analog of caprolactam, where ten hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium. This high-purity, isotopically labeled compound is essential as an internal standard for precise quantitative analysis in mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. It is a critical material for researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, polymer, and analytical chemistry industries requiring accurate measurement of caprolactam and its derivatives.

Application

• Primary use as an internal standard for the quantification of caprolactam and related compounds via Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS).
• Essential component in metabolite studies and pharmacokinetic research involving caprolactam or nylon-6 precursors.
• Used in NMR spectroscopy as a deuterated solvent or shift reference in polymer and organic chemistry research.
• Critical for quality control and assurance in the production of high-purity caprolactam for nylon-6 manufacturing.
• Employed in environmental testing labs to trace and quantify caprolactam residues in water and soil samples.
• Facilitates deuterium labeling studies to investigate chemical reaction mechanisms and pathways.

Quality Control

Every batch of ε-Caprolactam-D10 is manufactured and analyzed under strict quality management protocols to ensure exceptional isotopic purity and chemical integrity. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment (Atom % D), chemical purity, and specific analytical results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
