Description

Ethane-1,1,1-D3 is a deuterated isotopologue of ethane, specifically deuterated at the methyl position. This compound is a critical stable isotope-labeled standard used for precise analytical and spectroscopic applications. It is essential for researchers and industries requiring high-fidelity internal standards for mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy, and reaction mechanism studies. Key users include pharmaceutical R&D, academic research institutions, and manufacturers of advanced analytical equipment and reagents.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Provides a reliable reference peak for the quantitative analysis of hydrocarbons and related compounds in complex matrices.
• NMR Spectroscopy Solvent & Reagent: Used as a deuterated solvent or a tracer in nuclear magnetic resonance studies to investigate molecular structure and dynamics without proton interference.
• Reaction Mechanism Studies: Acts as a probe in kinetic isotope effect (KIE) experiments to elucidate reaction pathways and transition states in organic and organometallic chemistry.
• Pharmaceutical Metabolism Research: Serves as a stable isotope-labeled analog in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) studies to track the fate of molecules in biological systems.
• Calibration of Analytical Instruments: Used to calibrate and validate gas chromatographs (GC), GC-MS systems, and other detectors for enhanced accuracy.
• Synthesis of Deuterated Compounds: Functions as a building block for the synthesis of more complex deuterium-labeled fine chemicals and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Quality Control

Our Ethane-1,1,1-D3 is produced and handled under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high isotopic purity and chemical purity, meeting the exacting standards required for research and industrial applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment (atom % D), chemical assay, and impurity profiles are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and gaseous nature under standard conditions, this product is typically supplied in sealed gas cylinders or ampoules. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and open flames. Cylinders should be secured upright. Use appropriate pressure-regulating equipment for handling.
