Description

Hexadecanoic-9,9-D2 Acid is a deuterium-labeled isotopologue of palmitic acid, a fundamental saturated fatty acid. This labeled compound is essential for advanced analytical and metabolic research, providing a stable, non-radioactive tracer for precise tracking and quantification. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life science sectors for applications such as mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy, and metabolic pathway studies.

Application

• Metabolic Tracer Studies: Used as a stable isotope-labeled internal standard in lipid metabolism and flux analysis research.
• Mass Spectrometry (MS): Serves as a critical reference standard for the accurate quantification of palmitic acid and its derivatives via GC-MS or LC-MS.
• Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy: Acts as a probe in structural and dynamic studies of lipid assemblies and biological membranes.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Employed in drug development for pharmacokinetic (PK) and absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) studies of lipid-based therapeutics.
• Biochemical Research: Facilitates the investigation of fatty acid biosynthesis, β-oxidation, and other enzymatic pathways.
• Quality Control & Method Development: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) to validate analytical methods in quality assurance laboratories.
