Description

Methyl Octanoate-D15 is a deuterium-labeled analog of methyl octanoate, a fatty acid methyl ester, where fifteen hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium. This high isotopic purity compound is essential for applications requiring precise internal standards in quantitative mass spectrometry and metabolic pathway tracing. It is a critical material for researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and analytical chemistry sectors who require reliable, non-interfering standards for accurate quantification.

Application

• Internal Standard for GC/MS and LC-MS Analysis: Used as a quantitative reference standard for the analysis of fatty acid esters, lipids, and related metabolites in complex biological and environmental matrices.
• Metabolic Flux and Tracer Studies: Employed in pharmaceutical and nutritional research to track the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of octanoate and medium-chain fatty acids.
• Deuterated Solvent and Reagent: Serves as a deuterated building block or solvent in organic synthesis and NMR spectroscopy where isotopic labeling is required.
• Quality Control & Method Development: Critical for developing and validating robust analytical methods in compliance with FDA, ICH, and other regulatory guidelines in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
• Forensic and Environmental Analysis: Used as a labeled standard for the detection and quantification of ester-based compounds in forensic toxicology and environmental monitoring.
