Description

Methyl Iodide-13C,D2 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of methyl iodide, specifically enriched with carbon-13 and deuterium. This compound is essential for advanced analytical and synthetic chemistry, providing a non-radioactive tracer for precise mechanistic studies and metabolic pathway elucidation. It is a critical reagent for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and analytical instrumentation industries who require high-fidelity isotopic labels for mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) applications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Used as a labeled methylating agent in the synthesis of deuterated and 13C-labeled drug candidates for pharmacokinetic (PK) and metabolism (ADME) studies.
• Analytical Chemistry Standards: Serves as an internal standard or reference material in Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) to ensure quantitative accuracy.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Enables the tracking of methyl group transfer in biochemical and biological systems, crucial for understanding enzymatic mechanisms in life sciences.
• Agrochemical Development: Employed in the synthesis of isotopically labeled pesticides or herbicides to study environmental fate, degradation, and residue analysis.
• NMR Spectroscopy: Provides a distinct spectroscopic signature for structural analysis and reaction monitoring without signal interference from natural abundance isotopes.
• Chemical Mechanism Elucidation: Acts as a probe in reaction kinetics and mechanistic studies to identify the origin of atoms in reaction products.

Quality Control

Our Methyl Iodide-13C,D2 is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity, which is paramount for sensitive tracer applications. Each batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment (e.g., 13C atom %, D atom %), chemical purity by GC, and impurity profiles. We adhere to relevant industry standards for stable isotope-labeled compounds to guarantee reproducible and reliable performance in your critical research and synthesis workflows.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place, preferably at 2-8°C (refrigerated) to minimize volatility and degradation. Due to its light-sensitive and highly volatile nature, containers should be kept sealed and allowed to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent moisture ingress and pressure build-up.
