Description

Hexadecane-1-D 98 Atom % D is a high-purity, deuterium-labeled isotopologue of n-hexadecane, a standard alkane. This compound is essential for advanced analytical and research applications where isotopic labeling is required to trace molecular pathways, study reaction mechanisms, or act as an internal standard. It is primarily needed by researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, petrochemical, and advanced materials sectors for precise spectroscopic and chromatographic analysis.

Application

• As a deuterated internal standard in Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) for the quantitative analysis of hydrocarbons and lipids.
• A critical tracer molecule in metabolic studies, pharmacokinetics, and environmental fate analysis to track the biodegradation of alkanes.
• Used in NMR spectroscopy as a solvent or chemical shift reference, leveraging its defined deuterium content.
• Employed in fundamental research on catalysis and reaction kinetics to elucidate mechanisms involving C-H bond activation.
• Serves as a calibration standard for instruments measuring hydrocarbon chain length and purity in the petroleum industry.
• Utilized in the synthesis of more complex deuterated compounds for specialized research and development.
