Description

Tetrachloroethylene-1-13C is a stable isotope-labeled analog of the common industrial solvent tetrachloroethylene, where one carbon atom is replaced with the carbon-13 isotope. This precise labeling is critical for applications requiring high sensitivity and accurate tracking in analytical and research methodologies. It is an essential material for scientists and quality control professionals in the pharmaceutical, environmental, and chemical synthesis industries who rely on isotope dilution mass spectrometry and other advanced spectroscopic techniques.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry: Serves as a quantitative reference in GC-MS and LC-MS analysis for environmental testing and metabolomics studies.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Used in biochemical and pharmaceutical research to elucidate metabolic pathways and drug degradation mechanisms.
• NMR Spectroscopy: Acts as a solvent or chemical shift reference in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy due to the distinct signal of the 13C label.
• Chemical Synthesis Research: Employed as a labeled starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex 13C-labeled compounds.
• Environmental Fate Studies: Tracks the degradation, transformation, and movement of tetrachloroethylene in environmental matrices.
• Quality Control & Method Development: Essential for developing and validating highly accurate analytical methods in regulatory and industrial labs.

Quality Control

Our Tetrachloroethylene-1-13C is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity. Each batch is rigorously analyzed using advanced techniques including NMR, GC-MS, and IR spectroscopy to confirm identity, isotopic enrichment (typically >99 atom % 13C), and chemical purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to support your research and compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C to ensure long-term stability of the isotopic label and prevent degradation.
