Description

o-Xylene-Alpha,Alpha,Alpha,Alpha',Alpha',Alpha'-D6 is a deuterated isotopologue of o-xylene, where six hydrogen atoms on the methyl groups are replaced with deuterium, a stable hydrogen isotope. This high-purity labeled compound is essential for advanced analytical applications, serving as an internal standard to ensure precise quantification and eliminate matrix effects in mass spectrometry. It is critically needed by analytical chemists and researchers in pharmaceutical development, environmental testing, and metabolic studies for accurate trace-level analysis.

Application

• Internal Standard for GC/MS and LC-MS: Primary use as a quantitative reference standard in the analysis of xylene isomers and related aromatic compounds.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Used in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) studies to track the fate of xenobiotics.
• Environmental Analysis: Enables accurate measurement of o-xylene contamination in air, water, and soil samples.
• NMR Spectroscopy: Serves as a deuterated solvent or a non-interfering standard in complex mixture analysis.
• Chemical Synthesis Tracing: Acts as a labeled starting material or tracer in reaction mechanism studies.
• Forensic and Toxicological Analysis: Provides reliable quantification in legal and safety testing protocols.
