Description

2-Methoxyethanol-13C3 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of 2-methoxyethanol, where three carbon atoms are replaced with the carbon-13 isotope. This product is essential for use as an internal standard in quantitative mass spectrometry, enabling precise and accurate analysis in complex matrices. It is primarily required by analytical laboratories, pharmaceutical researchers, and environmental testing facilities engaged in method development, pharmacokinetic studies, and trace-level quantification.

Application

• Quantitative Mass Spectrometry (MS): Serves as a critical internal standard for the accurate quantification of unlabeled 2-methoxyethanol and related metabolites in biological and environmental samples.
• Metabolomics and Biomarker Research: Used in tracer studies to elucidate metabolic pathways and identify biomarkers in clinical and preclinical research.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Enables precise pharmacokinetic (PK) and absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) studies for drug candidates and impurities.
• Environmental and Industrial Hygiene Analysis: Facilitates the reliable monitoring of 2-methoxyethanol exposure in workplace air, water, and soil samples.
• Forensic Toxicology: Provides a reference standard for the definitive identification and measurement of 2-methoxyethanol in forensic investigations.
• Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy: Acts as a labeled starting material or intermediate for the synthesis of other 13C-labeled compounds for structural analysis.

Quality Control

Our 2-Methoxyethanol-13C3 is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure high chemical and isotopic purity, critical for analytical applications. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing parameters such as isotopic enrichment (atom % 13C), chemical purity by GC and/or NMR, and solvent content. We adhere to relevant industry standards for stable isotope-labeled compounds to guarantee reliable and reproducible performance in your sensitive analytical methods.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container should be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere after opening to maintain purity and stability. Recommended long-term storage at 2-8°C.
