Description

3-Methylhexane-D16 is a deuterated analog of 3-methylhexane, where all hydrogen atoms are replaced with the stable isotope deuterium. This high isotopic purity makes it an essential internal standard and tracer in advanced analytical chemistry, particularly for mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. It is a critical material for researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, environmental, and petrochemical industries requiring precise quantification and metabolic pathway studies.

Application

• Internal Standard for GC-MS and LC-MS analysis in pharmaceutical impurity profiling and metabolomics.
• Deuterated solvent and tracer for complex NMR spectroscopy studies in organic chemistry and material science.
• Reference compound for calibrating analytical instruments and validating methods in regulatory testing environments.
• Key starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of other deuterium-labeled compounds for research.
• Use in environmental analysis to trace hydrocarbon sources and study degradation pathways.
• Application in petroleum research for modeling and tracking hydrocarbon fractions.

Quality Control

Every batch of 3-Methylhexane-D16 is produced and analyzed under strict quality management protocols to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment (typically >98% or >99% D), chemical purity, and specific analytical results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
