Description

2,6-Deoxyfructosazine-13C4 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of a key Maillard reaction intermediate, where four carbon atoms are replaced with the carbon-13 isotope. This compound is essential for advanced analytical research, providing an internal standard for precise quantification and metabolic pathway tracing using techniques like mass spectrometry. It is primarily required by researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, food science, and nutritional biochemistry sectors for method development and validation.

Application

• Use as an internal standard in LC-MS and GC-MS analysis for the accurate quantification of Maillard reaction products in complex matrices.
• Tracer studies in metabolic research to investigate the formation and fate of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) in biological systems.
• Critical reference material in method development and validation for food quality control, particularly in assessing heat-processed foods.
• Supporting pharmaceutical research into the role of glycation in disease pathology and aging.
• Fundamental chemical research on the mechanisms and kinetics of the Maillard reaction.

Quality Control

Every batch of 2,6-Deoxyfructosazine-13C4 is produced and analyzed under strict quality protocols to ensure isotopic purity and chemical identity. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment, chemical purity, and analytical methods (NMR, HPLC, MS) are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 15-25°C. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed in a desiccated environment to maintain stability and purity. Avoid prolonged exposure to air.
