Description

D-[6-13C]Fructose is a stable isotope-labeled analog of fructose, where the carbon-13 isotope is specifically incorporated at the C-6 position. This high-purity labeled compound is essential for advanced metabolic research, enabling precise tracking and quantification of fructose pathways in biological systems. It is a critical reagent for scientists and manufacturers in the fields of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry (MS), and metabolic flux analysis.

Application

• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Used as a tracer in in vitro and in vivo studies to elucidate fructose metabolism, glycolysis, and the pentose phosphate pathway.
• Quantitative NMR (qNMR): Serves as an internal standard for the accurate quantification of metabolites in complex biological samples.
• Mass Spectrometry (MS): Enables precise detection and measurement of fructose-derived metabolites in LC-MS and GC-MS applications due to its distinct mass shift.
• Drug Metabolism Studies: Investigates the metabolic fate of pharmaceutical compounds that interact with sugar metabolic pathways.
• Nutritional Research: Studies the absorption, utilization, and health impacts of dietary fructose in model organisms.
• Biochemical Reagent Manufacturing: Used in the production of diagnostic kits and specialized reagents for clinical and research laboratories.
