Description

Decanoic Acid-1,2-13C2 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of capric acid, where two carbon atoms at the 1 and 2 positions are enriched with the 13C isotope. This precise labeling is critical for applications requiring high sensitivity and accurate quantification, such as mass spectrometry-based metabolic studies. It serves as an essential internal standard and tracer for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutritional, and biochemical sectors who require uncompromised analytical precision and data integrity.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Used as a quantitative reference in GC-MS and LC-MS analyses to ensure accurate measurement of endogenous decanoic acid and related metabolites in complex biological matrices.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Enables the detailed study of fatty acid metabolism, β-oxidation, and lipid biosynthesis in nutritional science, pharmacology, and disease research.
• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Employed in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) studies to track the fate of drug candidates and their metabolites.
• Nutritional Science: Facilitates research into the digestion, absorption, and utilization of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) and their health impacts.
• Biochemical Synthesis: Acts as a labeled precursor for the synthesis of more complex 13C-labeled compounds for advanced research applications.
• Quality Control & Method Validation: Essential for developing and validating robust analytical methods in compliance with GLP and GMP guidelines.

Quality Control

Every batch of Decanoic Acid-1,2-13C2 is produced and analyzed under strict quality management systems to ensure the highest isotopic and chemical purity for research applications. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request and provide detailed data on isotopic enrichment, chemical purity, and identity confirmation.

Storage

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