Description

Octopamine-13C2,15N is a stable isotope-labeled analog of the biogenic amine octopamine, specifically enriched with carbon-13 and nitrogen-15. This compound is an essential internal standard and tracer in advanced analytical and metabolic research, ensuring precise quantification and reliable data. It is primarily required by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, contract research organizations (CROs), and academic institutions engaged in neurochemistry, pharmacokinetic studies, and biomarker discovery.

Application

• Internal Standard for LC-MS/MS: Used as a quantitative reference standard in liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for the accurate measurement of endogenous octopamine levels in biological matrices.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Employed in isotope dilution studies to investigate the biosynthesis, turnover, and metabolic fate of octopamine and related trace amines.
• Pharmaceutical R&D: Critical for drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) studies of compounds targeting trace amine-associated receptors (TAARs).
• Clinical Research: Supports the development and validation of diagnostic assays for neurological and endocrine disorders.
• Biochemical Research: Facilitates proteomic and metabolomic studies to understand octopamine's role as a neurotransmitter, neurohormone, and cardioregulator.
• Quality Control & Method Development: Serves as a critical reagent for developing and validating robust analytical methods in compliance with GLP and GMP guidelines.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at 2-8°C. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). For long-term storage, keep the container under an inert atmosphere in a freezer (-20°C). Allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent moisture absorption.
