Description

Ethyl Acetate (1-13C) is a stable isotope-labeled analog of the common organic solvent ethyl acetate, where the carbonyl carbon atom is enriched with the carbon-13 isotope. This compound is essential as a tracer and internal standard in advanced analytical chemistry, enabling precise quantitative analysis and metabolic pathway elucidation. It is a critical material for researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and environmental science sectors who require high-purity isotopic standards for mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.

Application

• Internal Standard for Quantitative Analysis: Used in Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) for accurate quantification of ethyl acetate or related compounds in complex matrices.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracer: Employed in biochemical and pharmaceutical research to study the metabolism and degradation pathways of esters and related molecules.
• NMR Spectroscopy Solvent & Reagent: Serves as a carbon-13 enriched solvent or starting material for synthesizing labeled compounds for structural analysis.
• Pharmaceutical Impurity Profiling: Aids in the identification and quantification of process-related impurities and degradation products in drug substances and products.
• Environmental Analysis: Used as a standard in monitoring volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and studying environmental fate.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Acts as a labeled building block for the synthesis of more complex carbon-13 labeled organic molecules.

Quality Control

Our Ethyl Acetate (1-13C) is produced under controlled conditions to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity. Each batch undergoes rigorous analysis, including NMR and GC/MS, to confirm isotopic enrichment, chemical identity, and purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing the isotopic enrichment level, chemical purity, and specific tests are 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 heat sources and ignition. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are securely sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability, but the product is stable at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) for near-term use.
