Description

Formaldehyde (13C) is a stable isotope-labeled analog of formaldehyde, where the central carbon atom is the carbon-13 isotope. This product is essential for advanced analytical and research applications requiring precise molecular tracing and quantification. It is primarily used by researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, environmental science, and metabolic research sectors who require high-purity isotopic standards for mass spectrometry and NMR studies.

Application

• Internal standard for the accurate quantification of formaldehyde in complex matrices via Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) or Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS).
• Tracer compound in metabolic pathway studies and pharmacokinetic research to track the fate of formaldehyde in biological systems.
• Calibration standard for enhancing the precision and accuracy of analytical instruments in environmental monitoring and industrial hygiene testing.
• Key starting material or reagent in the synthesis of other carbon-13 labeled compounds for research and development.
• Use in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy as a reference or probe molecule due to its distinct isotopic signature.

Quality Control

Our Formaldehyde (13C) is produced and handled under stringent conditions to ensure isotopic and chemical purity for research applications. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including isotopic enrichment analysis by NMR and chemical purity assessment by chromatography. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results for isotopic purity, chemical assay, and solvent content are available upon request to support your compliance and documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere and at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
