Description

Nitromethane-13C is a stable isotope-labeled analog of nitromethane, where the carbon atom is the carbon-13 (13C) isotope. This compound is essential as a premium tracer and internal standard in advanced analytical chemistry, enabling precise quantification and metabolic pathway elucidation. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, pharmaceutical developers, and analytical laboratories engaged in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry (MS), and isotopic labeling studies.

Application

• Internal Standard for Quantitative Analysis: Used in GC-MS and LC-MS methods for the accurate quantification of nitromethane and related compounds in complex matrices.
• NMR Spectroscopy Tracer: Serves as a crucial 13C-labeled probe for studying reaction mechanisms, molecular structures, and dynamics due to its distinct NMR signal.
• Metabolic Research: Employed in isotopic labeling experiments to track carbon flow in chemical and biological systems.
• Pharmaceutical R&D: Used in the synthesis of labeled intermediates for drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) studies.
• Environmental Analysis: Acts as a reference standard for detecting and measuring nitromethane contaminants in environmental samples.
• Chemical Synthesis: Functions as a labeled building block for synthesizing more complex 13C-labeled organic compounds.

Quality Control

Our Nitromethane-13C is produced and handled under stringent quality management protocols to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity, critical for sensitive analytical applications. Each batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment (atom % 13C), chemical purity, and solvent residue profiles. We adhere to relevant standards for research chemicals, ensuring reliability and consistency for your critical research and development work.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its highly volatile and strong acid/organic solvent nature, it should be kept separate from oxidizing agents, strong bases, and sources of ignition. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C to maximize stability.
