Description

Butanol, n-[1-3H] is a tritium-labeled derivative of n-butanol, a primary alcohol widely used as a solvent and chemical intermediate. This isotopically labeled compound is essential for advanced research applications where precise molecular tracking is required. It is particularly valuable for scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and metabolic research sectors who require reliable tracers for mechanistic studies, metabolic pathway analysis, and environmental fate tracking.

Application

• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Used as a radiolabeled tracer in pharmacokinetic and ADME (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion) studies to monitor the fate of butanol and related compounds in biological systems.
• Organic Synthesis Research: Serves as a labeled building block or solvent in the synthesis of more complex tritiated compounds for research and development.
• Biochemical Assays: Employed in enzymatic studies and receptor binding assays where a labeled alcohol probe is necessary.
• Environmental Science: Applied in research to study the degradation, transport, and bioaccumulation of alcohol-based compounds in environmental models.
• Material Science Research: Used in studies investigating polymerization mechanisms, solvent interactions, and surface coatings where tracer technology is beneficial.
• Quality Control & Reference Standard: Can be utilized as an internal standard in analytical methods such as Liquid Scintillation Counting (LSC) or radio-HPLC for quantitative analysis.

Quality Control

Every batch of Butanol, n-[1-3H] is produced and analyzed under strict quality protocols to ensure high chemical and radiochemical purity, specific activity, and stability. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided, detailing key parameters such as radiochemical purity (typically by radio-HPLC or TLC), specific activity, chemical purity, and solvent composition. Our quality management system supports traceability and compliance with relevant guidelines for handling radioactive materials.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a dedicated, well-ventilated area for radioactive materials at recommended temperatures (typically 2-8°C or as specified on the label) to maintain stability and minimize radiolytic decomposition. Keep away from heat and ignition sources. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are securely sealed.
