Description

Ethane-D5 is a deuterated analog of ethane, where all five hydrogen atoms are replaced with the stable isotope deuterium. This high-purity, isotopically labeled compound is essential for advanced analytical and research applications where precise molecular tracking and minimal background interference are critical. It is primarily utilized by researchers and analytical laboratories in the fields of NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and as a precursor in chemical synthesis.

Application

• NMR Spectroscopy Solvent & Standard: Used as an internal standard or lock solvent in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy due to its high isotopic purity and minimal proton signal.
• Mass Spectrometry Tracer: Serves as a critical internal standard or tracer in quantitative mass spectrometry (MS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for accurate compound quantification.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Acts as a deuterium-labeled building block for synthesizing more complex deuterated compounds in pharmaceutical and material science research.
• Reaction Mechanism Studies: Employed in kinetic and mechanistic studies to trace reaction pathways and understand isotope effects in chemical and biochemical processes.
• Analytical Reference Material: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) to calibrate instruments and validate analytical methods in regulatory and quality control environments.
