Description

1-Bromohexane-13C6 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of 1-bromohexane, where all six carbon atoms are the carbon-13 (13C) isotope. This compound is essential as a high-purity internal standard and tracer in quantitative analytical chemistry, particularly for mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. It is primarily used by researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and environmental testing industries to ensure accurate quantification and metabolic pathway elucidation.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Used as a quantitative reference standard in GC-MS and LC-MS analyses for accurate measurement of unlabeled 1-bromohexane or related compounds in complex matrices.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Serves as a 13C-labeled precursor or intermediate in studies investigating the metabolism and environmental fate of hexane derivatives and other alkyl halides.
• NMR Spectroscopy: Provides a distinct spectroscopic signature for use as a tracer in reaction mechanism studies and structural analysis.
• Pharmaceutical Impurity Profiling: Employed in the development and validation of analytical methods to detect and quantify process-related impurities.
• Environmental Analysis: Acts as a labeled standard for the detection and quantification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and halogenated pollutants in environmental samples.
• Chemical Synthesis Research: Used in the synthesis of other 13C-labeled complex molecules for research purposes.

Quality Control

Our 1-Bromohexane-13C6 is manufactured under strict quality controls to ensure high chemical and isotopic purity, which is critical for analytical applications. Each batch is analyzed by NMR, GC-MS, and/or HPLC to confirm identity, chemical purity, and isotopic enrichment (typically ≥99 atom % 13C). A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

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