Description

Ethyl Octanoate-D15 is a deuterium-labeled analog of ethyl octanoate, a compound of significant interest in analytical and research chemistry. Its core value lies in its utility as a stable isotope-labeled internal standard, enabling precise quantification and method validation in mass spectrometry-based analyses. This product is essential for professionals in pharmaceutical research, environmental testing, and flavor/fragrance analysis who require high-fidelity isotopic standards for accurate trace-level detection and metabolic studies.

Application

• Internal Standard for GC/MS and LC-MS: Used as a quantitative reference standard in the analysis of esters, flavors, and related compounds.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Employed in pharmacokinetic and metabolic studies to track the fate of ethyl octanoate and similar molecules.
• Flavor and Fragrance Research: Serves as a labeled standard for the accurate analysis of volatile flavor compounds in food, beverages, and perfumery.
• Environmental Analysis: Aids in the detection and quantification of ester pollutants or degradation products in environmental samples.
• Pharmaceutical Impurity Profiling: Used in method development for identifying and quantifying process-related impurities in active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Deuterium-Labeled Building Block: Acts as a specialized synthon for the preparation of other deuterated compounds for research purposes.
