Description

Acetonitrile-2-13C is a stable isotope-labeled analog of acetonitrile, where the carbon atom at the 2-position is the carbon-13 isotope. This product is essential for advanced analytical and research applications where precise molecular tracking and quantification are required. It is primarily used by research scientists, analytical laboratories, and pharmaceutical developers in fields such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry (MS).

Application

• Internal standard and tracer compound in quantitative mass spectrometry (MS) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis.
• Solvent and reference standard in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy for structural elucidation and metabolic studies.
• Critical reagent in pharmaceutical research for drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) studies.
• Used in the synthesis of other carbon-13 labeled compounds for research and diagnostic purposes.
• Application in environmental analysis to trace the fate of chemicals and pollutants.
• Biochemical research tool for probing reaction mechanisms and metabolic pathways.
