Description

Dodecanoic Acid-1,2-13C2 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of lauric acid, specifically enriched with carbon-13 at the C1 and C2 positions. This precise isotopic labeling is critical for advanced analytical and research applications where metabolic pathway tracing, quantification, and structural elucidation are required. It is an essential material for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, life sciences, and advanced chemical synthesis sectors who require high-fidelity isotopic tracers for mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies.

Application

• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Used as an internal standard or tracer in mass spectrometry (MS) and NMR studies to investigate lipid metabolism, fatty acid oxidation, and biosynthetic pathways in biological systems.
• Quantitative Analysis (QA/QC): Serves as a certified reference material (CRM) or internal standard for the accurate quantification of lauric acid and related compounds in complex matrices via GC-MS or LC-MS.
• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Employed in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) studies to track the fate of drug molecules or excipients that incorporate fatty acid chains.
• Nutritional Science & Stable Isotope Probing: Applied in research on nutrient absorption, energy metabolism, and microbiome studies to trace the incorporation of dietary fatty acids.
• Chemical Synthesis & Catalysis Research: Used as a labeled starting material or probe in synthetic organic chemistry to study reaction mechanisms, catalyst performance, and product distributions.
• Environmental & Geochemical Studies: Utilized as a tracer in environmental fate studies of organic compounds or in biomarker research.

Quality Control

Our Dodecanoic Acid-1,2-13C2 is manufactured under strict quality systems to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity, critical for sensitive analytical applications. Each batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment (atom % 13C), chemical purity (by GC or HPLC), and identity confirmation (by IR, NMR, MS). We adhere to relevant standards for high-purity reference materials. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
