Description

Potassium Cyanide-13C is a stable isotope-labeled compound where the carbon atom in the cyanide group is the carbon-13 (13C) isotope. This product is essential for advanced analytical research, providing a critical internal standard for precise quantification and metabolic pathway tracing using techniques like mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. It is primarily needed by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, academic research institutions, and forensic science departments engaged in isotope dilution analysis and sophisticated chemical reaction studies.

Application

• Used as an internal standard in quantitative mass spectrometry (MS) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) for accurate measurement of cyanide or related compounds.
• Critical for metabolic pathway tracing and mechanistic studies in biochemical and pharmacological research utilizing 13C-NMR.
• Employed in forensic analysis and toxicology for method development and validation requiring high-precision isotope-labeled references.
• Facilitates environmental testing and monitoring, enhancing the accuracy of cyanide detection in complex matrices.
• Serves as a specialized precursor in the synthesis of other 13C-labeled fine chemicals and pharmaceutical intermediates.
