Description

2-Pyridine(Carboxylic Acid-13C1) is a stable isotope-labeled derivative of picolinic acid, where a carbon-13 atom is incorporated at the carboxylic acid position. This precise labeling is critical for applications requiring high sensitivity and specificity in analytical detection and metabolic pathway tracing. It is an essential building block for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced material sectors who rely on isotopic tracers for method development, quantification, and mechanistic studies.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Used as an internal standard in Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) for the accurate quantification of picolinic acid and related compounds in biological matrices.
• Metabolic Pathway Analysis: Serves as a tracer in studies investigating the metabolism and biochemical roles of picolinic acid and its metal chelates in biological systems.
• Agrochemical Studies: Employed in environmental fate and residue analysis studies of pyridine-based pesticides and herbicides.
• Material Science: Acts as a labeled precursor in the synthesis of advanced ligands and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for research into catalytic and sensing properties.
• Clinical Diagnostics: Potential use in developing high-precision diagnostic assays for conditions where picolinic acid serves as a biomarker.
