Description

Nitromethane (15N) is a stable isotope-labeled analog of nitromethane, where the nitrogen atom is enriched with the Nitrogen-15 (15N) isotope. This high-purity compound is essential for advanced research and analytical applications where isotopic tracing is required. It is primarily utilized by scientists and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and academic research sectors for applications such as NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and metabolic studies.

Application

• NMR Spectroscopy: Used as an internal standard or solvent for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance studies due to its distinct 15N signal.
• Mass Spectrometry: Serves as a labeling agent in quantitative proteomics and metabolomics for accurate mass tracking.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Employed in the synthesis and metabolic pathway analysis of isotope-labeled drug candidates and intermediates.
• Agrochemical Studies: Used to trace the environmental fate, metabolism, and degradation pathways of pesticides and herbicides.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a labeled building block for synthesizing more complex 15N-enriched organic compounds.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A critical tool in fundamental chemical reaction mechanism studies and kinetic isotope effect investigations.

Quality Control

Our Nitromethane (15N) is produced under stringent conditions to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity. Each batch is analyzed using advanced techniques including NMR, GC-MS, and IR spectroscopy to verify isotopic enrichment and chemical identity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing the exact isotopic purity (atom % 15N), chemical purity, and solvent residue profiles are provided with every shipment to guarantee reproducible results for your critical research.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent and high volatility, it should be kept separate from oxidizing agents, strong bases, and sources of ignition. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C to maximize shelf-life stability.
