Description

n-Hexadecyl-D33-Amine is a deuterium-labeled analog of hexadecylamine, where 33 hydrogen atoms are replaced with the stable isotope deuterium. This high isotopic purity makes it an essential internal standard and tracer in advanced analytical chemistry and metabolic research. It is primarily required by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science industries for precise quantification and mechanistic studies using techniques like mass spectrometry and NMR.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Used for the accurate quantification of primary amines and related compounds in complex biological and environmental matrices.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Serves as a stable isotope-labeled tracer in pharmacokinetic and drug metabolism studies to track absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME).
• NMR Spectroscopy Studies: Employed in nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to investigate molecular structure, dynamics, and interactions without spectral interference from proton signals.
• Deuterated Material Synthesis: Acts as a key building block for synthesizing more complex deuterium-labeled surfactants, lipids, and pharmaceutical intermediates.
• Surface Science Research: Utilized in studies of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and surface modifications where isotopic labeling helps differentiate layers and study interfacial phenomena.
• Quality Control & Method Development: Critical for developing and validating sensitive analytical methods in regulatory environments, ensuring accuracy and reproducibility.

Quality Control

Our n-Hexadecyl-D33-Amine is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity, critical for research integrity. Each batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing parameters such as isotopic purity (Atom % D), chemical purity by NMR and GC-MS, and impurity profiles. We adhere to relevant standards for high-purity labeled compounds to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for your sensitive applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) when opening to prevent degradation from moisture absorption.
