Description

Cyclohexanone-13C6 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of cyclohexanone, where all six carbon atoms are the carbon-13 (13C) isotope. This compound is essential as an internal standard for quantitative analysis and as a tracer in metabolic and environmental fate studies, providing unparalleled accuracy in mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. It is a critical material for researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and environmental science sectors who require definitive analytical results.

Application

• Used as an internal standard for the precise quantification of cyclohexanone and related compounds via GC-MS or LC-MS.
• Serves as a metabolic tracer in biomedical and pharmacological research to study biochemical pathways and drug metabolism.
• Employed in environmental analysis to track the degradation and transformation of cyclohexanone in ecosystems.
• Acts as a labeled starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of isotopically labeled complex molecules for research and development.
• Facilitates NMR spectroscopy studies, providing distinct spectral signatures for structural elucidation and reaction monitoring.
• Essential in forensic and doping control analysis where definitive identification and quantification are legally required.

Quality Control

Every batch of Cyclohexanone-13C6 is produced and analyzed under strict quality protocols to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity for research applications. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) that detail isotopic enrichment (typically ≥99 atom % 13C), chemical purity, and identity confirmation via NMR and MS. Our quality system is designed to meet the rigorous demands of analytical and synthetic laboratories.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. Due to its organic solvent nature, ensure proper grounding during handling to avoid static discharge.
