Description

Octanoic-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-13C8 Acid, 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-Pentadecafluoro- is a highly specialized, fully carbon-13 labeled and perfluorinated derivative of octanoic acid. This compound is critical for advanced analytical and research applications where isotopic labeling is required for precise tracking and quantification. It is primarily utilized by researchers and scientists in the fields of pharmaceutical development, environmental science, and advanced material science. The combination of isotopic purity and perfluorination makes it an indispensable tool for sophisticated mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy, and tracer studies.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Serves as a high-purity, isotopically labeled internal standard for the accurate quantification of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) and related metabolites in complex biological and environmental matrices.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracer Studies: Used in pharmaceutical and biochemical research to trace and elucidate metabolic pathways and degradation mechanisms of fluorinated molecules using 13C NMR and LC-MS techniques.
• Environmental Fate and Transport Studies: Employed as a labeled tracer to study the environmental behavior, bioaccumulation, and persistence of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in soil and water systems.
• Synthesis of Labeled Complex Molecules: Acts as a key, isotopically labeled building block for the synthesis of more complex perfluorinated target molecules for research purposes.
• Quality Control and Method Development: Essential for developing and validating highly sensitive analytical methods in regulatory and quality control laboratories focused on PFAS analysis.
• Material Science Research: Used in the development and study of novel fluorinated polymers and surface-active agents where isotopic labeling aids in understanding material properties and interactions.
