Description

1-Hexanol-13C6 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of 1-hexanol, where all six carbon atoms are the carbon-13 isotope. This compound is essential as an internal standard for quantitative mass spectrometry, enabling precise and accurate analysis in complex matrices. It is primarily used by analytical laboratories and research institutions in the fields of metabolomics, environmental testing, pharmaceutical development, and forensic science.

Application

• Quantitative Mass Spectrometry (MS) & GC-MS: Serves as a critical internal standard for the accurate quantification of 1-hexanol and related compounds in analytical methods.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Used in biochemical and biomedical research to study lipid metabolism and metabolic flux using 13C-labeling techniques.
• Environmental Analysis: Enables precise measurement of alcohol contaminants or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in air, water, and soil samples.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Employed in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) studies to track the fate of drug molecules and their metabolites.
• Flavor and Fragrance Analysis: Provides a stable isotope standard for the accurate analysis of hexanol and other alcohol components in complex flavor profiles.
• Forensic Toxicology: Used as a reference standard in the precise quantification of alcohols and related substances in biological specimens.
• Chemical Synthesis Research: Acts as a labeled starting material or intermediate for synthesizing other 13C-labeled compounds for research purposes.
