Description

3-Methylpentane-D14 is a deuterated analog of 3-methylpentane, where all hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium (²H). This high isotopic purity makes it an essential internal standard and tracer in advanced analytical chemistry and research. It is primarily used in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry (MS) for precise quantitative analysis and mechanistic studies. Industries and research institutions requiring high-fidelity isotopic labeling for solvent studies, metabolic research, and polymer analysis rely on this compound.

Application

• NMR Spectroscopy Solvent & Internal Standard: Used as a deuterated solvent or chemical shift reference in proton (¹H) and carbon-13 (¹³C) NMR due to its high deuterium content.
• Mass Spectrometry (MS) Tracer: Serves as a stable isotopic label in GC-MS and LC-MS methods for accurate quantification and tracking of reaction pathways.
• Mechanistic & Kinetic Studies: Employed in chemical and biochemical research to elucidate reaction mechanisms and kinetic isotope effects.
• Polymer Science Research: Acts as a probe molecule in the study of polymer dynamics, diffusion, and solvent interactions.
• Metabolic Research: Utilized as a tracer in metabolic flux analysis to study biochemical pathways in living systems.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Supports drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) studies as a labeled standard.
• Environmental Analysis: Functions as a reference standard in the analysis of hydrocarbon contaminants and petrochemical products.
• Quality Control & Method Validation: Critical for developing and validating analytical methods that require high-purity deuterated compounds.

Quality Control

Our 3-Methylpentane-D14 is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high isotopic purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analysis, including NMR and MS, to confirm deuterium enrichment and chemical purity. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key specifications. We support compliance with relevant research and analytical standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are securely sealed and stored upright away from heat sources and open flames. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
