Description

Naphthalene (13C6) CAS NO 287399-34-2 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of naphthalene, where all six carbon atoms in the aromatic rings are the carbon-13 (13C) isotope. This high-purity compound is essential as an internal standard for quantitative mass spectrometry, enabling precise and accurate analysis in complex matrices. It is primarily used by analytical laboratories and research institutions in the pharmaceutical, environmental, and metabolomics fields for method development, validation, and quality control.

Application

• Internal Standard for GC-MS and LC-MS analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
• Quantitative reference material in environmental testing for soil, water, and air pollution studies.
• Metabolite quantification and pathway analysis in pharmaceutical and biomedical research.
• Calibration standard for instrument performance verification in analytical laboratories.
• Use in stable isotope dilution assays (SIDA) for high-accuracy quantification.
• Research applications in chemical reaction mechanism studies using isotopic labeling.
