Description

Sodium Formate-13C is a stable isotope-labeled derivative of sodium formate, where the carbon atom is the carbon-13 (13C) isotope. This product is essential for applications requiring precise molecular tracking and quantification, offering a non-radioactive, highly detectable marker. It is primarily used by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, analytical chemistry, and life science sectors for advanced metabolic studies, internal standards in mass spectrometry, and NMR spectroscopy.

Application

• As an internal standard for quantitative analysis using Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS).
• As a tracer compound in metabolic pathway research and pharmacokinetic studies within drug discovery and development.
• For NMR spectroscopy applications, providing a distinct signal for structural elucidation and reaction monitoring.
• In the synthesis of other carbon-13 labeled intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• For use in environmental fate studies to track the degradation and transformation of formate-containing compounds.
• As a reagent in isotopic labeling experiments to investigate chemical reaction mechanisms.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Formate-13C is produced under controlled conditions to ensure high isotopic and chemical purity. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR and mass spectrometry, to confirm isotopic enrichment and identity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic purity, chemical purity, and specific tests are provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent absorption of moisture.
