Description

1,3-Dinitrobenzene (13C6) is a stable isotope-labeled analog of 1,3-dinitrobenzene, where all six carbon atoms are the carbon-13 isotope. This compound is essential as a high-purity internal standard for quantitative mass spectrometry, providing unmatched accuracy and reliability in analytical measurements. It is critically needed by analytical laboratories, contract research organizations (CROs), and pharmaceutical companies engaged in method development, environmental analysis, metabolomics, and forensic toxicology.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Primary use as a quantitative reference standard in GC-MS and LC-MS/MS analyses for accurate calibration and recovery calculations.
• Environmental Analysis: Tracing and quantifying nitroaromatic compounds and their degradation products in soil and water samples.
• Pharmaceutical Research & Metabolite Identification: Used in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) studies to track the fate of nitrobenzene-derived compounds.
• Forensic and Clinical Toxicology: Enables precise measurement of nitroaromatic explosives or related toxicants in biological matrices.
• Chemical Synthesis Research: Serves as a labeled precursor or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex 13C-labeled compounds for mechanistic studies.
• Quality Control & Method Validation: Critical for developing and validating ISO/IEC 17025 accredited analytical methods requiring high-purity isotope standards.
