Description

o-Cresol-D8 is a deuterated isotopologue of ortho-cresol, where eight hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium, a stable hydrogen isotope. This high-purity labeled compound is essential for use as an internal standard in quantitative mass spectrometry, ensuring analytical accuracy and reliability. It is primarily required by analytical laboratories, pharmaceutical R&D teams, and chemical manufacturers engaged in method development, metabolic studies, and quality control for cresol-related compounds.

Application

• Internal Standard for GC/MS and LC-MS: Used for the precise quantification of o-cresol and related phenolic compounds in complex matrices.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Employed in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) studies as a tracer to investigate metabolic pathways.
• Environmental Analysis: Facilitates the accurate measurement of cresol isomers in environmental samples like water and soil for pollution monitoring.
• Chemical Synthesis Research: Serves as a labeled starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of deuterated complex molecules for mechanistic studies.
• Food and Flavor Analysis: Aids in the detection and quantification of trace phenolic components in food products and flavorings.
• Forensic Toxicology: Supports the accurate analysis of phenolic compounds in biological specimens for forensic investigations.
