Description

Heptanoic--D5 Acid is a deuterated form of heptanoic acid, where five hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium, a stable hydrogen isotope. This isotopic labeling is critical for applications requiring precise molecular tracking and reduced metabolic interference. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors for use as an internal standard, tracer, or building block in the synthesis of deuterated compounds.

Application

• Internal Standard for Analytical Chemistry: Used in Mass Spectrometry (MS), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), and Liquid Chromatography (LC) for quantitative analysis due to its distinct isotopic signature.
• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of deuterated drug candidates to study pharmacokinetics, metabolism, and to potentially enhance drug efficacy and stability.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Employed in biochemical and nutritional studies to track fatty acid metabolism and utilization in biological systems.
• Agrochemical Development: Used in the research and synthesis of novel, labeled pesticides or herbicides to study environmental fate and degradation.
• Material Science: Acts as a precursor for synthesizing specialized deuterated polymers or surfactants for research in neutron scattering experiments.
• Stable Isotope Labeling: Provides a source of deuterium for custom synthesis services requiring labeled compounds for industrial or academic research.

Quality Control

Our Heptanoic--D5 Acid is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high chemical purity and isotopic enrichment, meeting the exacting standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, deuterium enrichment (D%), and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong bases, oxidizers, and sources of ignition. Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent, handle with appropriate personal protective equipment in a fume hood.
