Description

Pentanoic-D4 Acid is a deuterated isotopologue of valeric acid, where four hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium, a stable hydrogen isotope. This high isotopic purity is critical for applications requiring minimal spectral interference and enhanced metabolic stability in research. It serves as an essential analytical standard and synthetic building block in advanced chemical and life science sectors. Key users include manufacturers and researchers in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and analytical laboratories.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Used as a quantitative reference in GC-MS and LC-MS analyses due to its distinct mass shift.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Employed in pharmacokinetic and drug metabolism studies to track the fate of compounds.
• NMR Spectroscopy Solvent & Reagent: Acts as a solvent or chemical shift reference in deuterated NMR studies.
• Synthesis of Deuterated Compounds: Serves as a precursor for synthesizing labeled pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and organic materials.
• Polymer Science Research: Utilized in studies of polymer degradation and stability using isotopic labeling techniques.
• Chemical Reaction Mechanism Studies: Helps elucidate reaction pathways and kinetics through isotope effects.

Quality Control

Our Pentanoic-D4 Acid is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity. Each batch undergoes rigorous analysis, including NMR, GC-MS, and HPLC, to verify deuterium enrichment, chemical purity, and the absence of critical impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with your research or production standards.

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, oxidizing agents, and sources of ignition. Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent, handle with appropriate personal protective equipment in a fume hood.
