Description

Tetracosanoic-9,9,10,10-D4 Acid is a deuterium-labeled analog of lignoceric acid, a saturated very long-chain fatty acid. This stable isotope-labeled compound is essential for advanced analytical research, providing a critical internal standard for precise quantification and metabolic pathway tracing. It is primarily utilized by researchers and analytical laboratories in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life science sectors for mass spectrometry-based applications.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Serves as a critical quantitative reference in LC-MS and GC-MS analyses for the accurate measurement of lignoceric acid and related metabolites in complex biological matrices.
• Metabolic Pathway Research: Used as a tracer to study fatty acid metabolism, elongation, and degradation processes in cellular and animal models.
• Biomarker Discovery & Validation: Facilitates the identification and quantification of lipid biomarkers associated with metabolic disorders, such as adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) and other peroxisomal diseases.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Employed in pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) studies to track the distribution and metabolism of drug candidates affecting lipid pathways.
• Nutritional Science: Used in research investigating the absorption, distribution, and metabolic fate of dietary very long-chain fatty acids.
• Quality Control & Method Development: Essential for developing and validating highly sensitive and specific analytical methods in clinical and research laboratories.

Quality Control

Our Tetracosanoic-9,9,10,10-D4 Acid is produced under strict quality protocols to ensure the high isotopic purity and chemical integrity required for sensitive analytical applications. Each batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing parameters such as isotopic enrichment (atom % D), chemical purity (by HPLC/GC), and identity confirmation (by NMR/MS). We adhere to cGMP principles for research chemicals to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and traceability.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to minimize oxidation. The product is easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to air should be avoided. Allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
