Description

Octanal-D16 is a deuterium-labeled analog of octanal, a key aliphatic aldehyde. This stable isotope-labeled compound is essential for applications requiring high analytical precision and minimal background interference. It is primarily utilized by researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, fragrance, and analytical chemistry industries for use as an internal standard in mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy.

Application

• Internal Standard for Quantitative Analysis: Used in GC-MS, LC-MS, and NMR for the accurate quantification of octanal and related compounds in complex matrices.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Serves as a tracer in biochemical and pharmacokinetic studies to investigate lipid metabolism and aldehyde oxidation pathways.
• Fragrance and Flavor Research: Employed in the analysis and quality control of aroma compounds, helping to authenticate and quantify components in consumer products.
• Environmental and Food Safety Testing: Facilitates the detection and measurement of aldehyde contaminants or natural constituents in environmental samples and food products.
• Pharmaceutical Impurity Profiling: Aids in the identification and quantification of aldehyde-related degradants or impurities in active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Organic Synthesis Intermediate: Acts as a labeled building block for the synthesis of more complex deuterated molecules for research purposes.
