Description

Methyl Dodecanoate-D23 is a deuterium-labeled isotopologue of methyl laurate, where all 23 hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium. This high-purity, stable isotope-labeled compound is essential for applications requiring precise internal standards and minimal spectral interference. It is primarily used by analytical chemists and researchers in advanced mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. The compound is critical for ensuring accuracy in quantitative analysis within pharmaceutical development, environmental testing, and metabolic research.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Serves as a critical quantitative reference standard in GC-MS and LC-MS analysis of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) and related lipids.
• NMR Spectroscopy Solvent & Reagent: Used as a deuterated solvent or a tracer molecule in nuclear magnetic resonance studies to investigate molecular structure and dynamics.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Employed in biomedical and biochemical research to track and quantify metabolic fluxes and lipid metabolism using isotope labeling techniques.
• Pharmaceutical Impurity Profiling: Acts as a reference material in the identification and quantification of process-related impurities and degradants in drug substances.
• Environmental Analysis: Utilized as a stable isotope-labeled surrogate standard for the accurate measurement of fatty acid derivatives and pollutants in complex environmental matrices.
• Quality Control in Chemical Synthesis: Provides a definitive standard for calibrating analytical instruments and validating methods in high-purity chemical manufacturing.
