Description

2,3-Dimethylpentane-D16 is a deuterated isotopologue of 2,3-dimethylpentane, where all hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium (²H). This high-purity, fully deuterated compound is an essential internal standard and tracer in advanced analytical chemistry, particularly for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry (MS). It is primarily utilized by research institutions, pharmaceutical developers, and analytical laboratories requiring precise isotopic labeling for metabolic studies, reaction mechanism elucidation, and quantitative analysis.

Application

• NMR Spectroscopy Solvent & Internal Standard: Used as a deuterated solvent or chemical shift reference in proton (¹H) and carbon-13 (¹³C) NMR due to its high isotopic purity and minimal interference.
• Mass Spectrometry (MS): Serves as a critical internal standard for Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) applications, enabling accurate quantification of hydrocarbons and related compounds.
• Metabolic & Kinetic Studies: Acts as a non-radioactive tracer in pharmaceutical and biochemical research to study drug metabolism, reaction pathways, and isotope effects.
• Polymer & Material Science Research: Employed in mechanistic studies of polymerization and degradation processes where deuterium labeling provides distinct analytical signatures.
• Environmental Analysis: Used as a spike or recovery standard in the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and petroleum hydrocarbons in environmental samples.
• Chemical Synthesis: Provides a source of deuterium atoms for the synthesis of more complex labeled compounds in medicinal and organic chemistry.

Quality Control

Every batch of 2,3-Dimethylpentane-D16 is manufactured and analyzed under strict quality systems. We guarantee high chemical and isotopic purity, verified by advanced analytical techniques including NMR, GC-MS, and IR spectroscopy. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA), detailing isotopic enrichment (typically ≥98 atom % D), chemical purity, and specific tests, is provided with each shipment to ensure it meets your research specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place away from heat and ignition sources. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept upright and sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C to maintain optimal stability and minimize evaporation.
