Description

[6-13C]-(E)-Hex-2-Enal is a stable isotope-labeled analog of (E)-2-Hexenal, a key flavor and fragrance compound, where the carbon-13 isotope is specifically incorporated at the 6-position. This precise labeling makes it an indispensable tool for advanced analytical research, enabling accurate quantification and metabolic pathway tracing. It is primarily required by analytical laboratories, flavor and fragrance R&D departments, and academic institutions conducting studies in food chemistry, plant volatile analysis, and isotope dilution mass spectrometry.

Application

• Internal Standard for Quantitative Analysis: Used as a certified reference material in Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) for the precise quantification of (E)-2-Hexenal in complex matrices like food, beverages, and plant extracts.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Employed in isotopic labeling studies to investigate the biosynthesis, degradation, and metabolic fate of green leaf volatiles in plants and biological systems.
• Flavor and Fragrance Research: Serves as a high-purity standard for sensory analysis, quality control, and the development of authentic flavor profiles in the food and perfume industries.
• Environmental and Ecological Studies: Used to study plant-insect interactions and the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in response to stress or damage.
• Pharmaceutical Impurity Profiling: Acts as a reference standard for identifying and quantifying related substances or degradation products in pharmaceutical formulations where (E)-2-Hexenal or similar aldehydes may be present.

Quality Control

Every batch of [6-13C]-(E)-Hex-2-Enal is manufactured and analyzed under strict quality systems to ensure isotopic and chemical purity for critical research applications. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as isotopic enrichment (Atom % 13C), chemical purity by GC, and identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods. Our quality commitment aligns with the standards expected for high-value reference materials and stable isotope-labeled compounds.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at 2-8°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to minimize oxidation and volatility. Allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
