Description

Glycerol-13C3, D8 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of glycerol, where all three carbon atoms are the 13C isotope and all eight hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium (D). This high isotopic purity makes it an indispensable internal standard and tracer for advanced analytical and metabolic research. It is primarily utilized in pharmaceutical development, clinical diagnostics, and biochemical research where precise quantification and pathway elucidation are critical.

Application

• As a quantitative internal standard for the accurate measurement of glycerol and related metabolites in biological samples via LC-MS or GC-MS.
• For metabolic flux analysis and tracer studies to investigate lipid metabolism, gluconeogenesis, and cellular energy pathways.
• In the research and development of novel pharmaceuticals and diagnostic assays targeting metabolic disorders such as diabetes and obesity.
• As a precursor in the synthesis of other isotope-labeled compounds for use in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.
• For forensic and anti-doping analysis, providing definitive reference materials for substance identification and quantification.
