Description

1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane-13C2 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of tetrachloroethane, where two carbon atoms are replaced with the carbon-13 isotope. This compound is essential as a high-purity internal standard and tracer in advanced analytical chemistry, enabling precise quantification and metabolic pathway elucidation. It is primarily required by research laboratories, environmental testing facilities, and pharmaceutical development teams engaged in mass spectrometry (GC-MS, LC-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry: Used for accurate quantification of unlabeled tetrachloroethane and related chlorinated solvents in environmental and biological samples via GC-MS or LC-MS.
• Metabolic Tracer Studies: Employed in pharmaceutical and toxicological research to track the biotransformation and degradation pathways of chlorinated ethanes.
• NMR Spectroscopy: Serves as a valuable tool for method development and structural analysis due to its distinct 13C NMR signal.
• Environmental Fate Analysis: Applied in studies monitoring the environmental persistence, transport, and remediation of chlorinated hydrocarbon pollutants.
• Quality Control & Method Validation: Acts as a critical reference material for validating analytical methods in accredited testing laboratories.
• Isotope Dilution Analysis: Fundamental for high-precision isotope dilution techniques to achieve superior accuracy in complex matrices.
