Description

Dodecanoic-2-13C Acid is a stable isotope-labeled analog of lauric acid, where the carbon atom at the 2-position is enriched with the 13C isotope. This precise labeling is critical for applications requiring high-fidelity molecular tracing and quantification, such as metabolic flux analysis and pharmacokinetic studies. It is an essential research tool for scientists and quality control specialists in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and advanced materials sectors.

Application

• Isotope-Labeled Internal Standards: For the accurate quantification of lauric acid and related compounds in complex biological matrices using GC-MS or LC-MS.
• Metabolic Pathway Research: As a tracer to study lipid metabolism, β-oxidation, and energy production pathways in cellular and animal models.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Used in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) studies to track the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drug candidates.
• Nutritional Science: To investigate the digestion, absorption, and utilization of medium-chain fatty acids in dietary studies.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a labeled building block for the synthesis of more complex 13C-labeled compounds for research and diagnostic purposes.
• Environmental Analysis: Potential use as a standard in tracing lipid sources and degradation processes in environmental samples.
