Description

2,6-Di-tert-Butyl-4-Methylphenol-D24 is a deuterated isotopologue of the widely used antioxidant Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT). This compound is specifically designed for applications requiring high-performance analytical standards and advanced research, where its deuterium-labeled structure provides critical utility. It is essential for scientists and quality control professionals in the pharmaceutical, polymer, and petrochemical industries who require precise internal standards for mass spectrometry and other analytical techniques to ensure product integrity and traceability.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Serves as a critical internal standard in Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) for the quantification of BHT and related phenolic antioxidants.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Used in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) studies as a stable isotope-labeled tracer to investigate the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of antioxidant compounds.
• Polymer & Rubber Stabilization Research: Employed in advanced material science research to study the efficiency, migration, and degradation pathways of antioxidant additives in plastics, elastomers, and synthetic rubbers.
• Petrochemical Additive Analysis: Utilized for the precise analysis of antioxidant packages in fuels, lubricants, and transformer oils to monitor additive depletion and ensure performance specifications.
• Food & Cosmetic Safety Testing: Acts as a key standard in regulatory and quality control labs to accurately measure BHT residues and ensure compliance with safety limits in food products and personal care items.
• Environmental & Forensic Analysis: Applied in trace analysis for detecting and quantifying phenolic antioxidants in environmental samples and forensic investigations.

Quality Control

Every batch of 2,6-Di-tert-Butyl-4-Methylphenol-D24 is manufactured and analyzed under strict quality management systems. We guarantee high chemical and isotopic purity to meet the exacting demands of analytical and research applications. Comprehensive testing includes assay by NMR and HPLC, isotopic enrichment verification by MS, and control of related substances. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, confirming compliance with specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, prolonged exposure to air, light, or elevated temperatures should be avoided to maintain stability and isotopic integrity.
