Description

Sodium Hexanoate-D11 is the sodium salt of a fully deuterated form of hexanoic acid, specifically labeled with eleven deuterium atoms. This stable isotope-labeled compound is critical for applications requiring high sensitivity and minimal background interference in analytical techniques. It is primarily utilized by researchers and analytical laboratories in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and metabolic research sectors. The deuterium labeling provides a distinct mass signature essential for precise tracking and quantification in complex matrices.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Serves as a crucial quantitative reference in GC-MS and LC-MS analyses for quantifying non-labeled sodium hexanoate or related metabolites.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Used in deuterium labeling studies to investigate fatty acid metabolism, β-oxidation, and biosynthetic pathways in biological systems.
• Pharmaceutical Impurity Profiling: Aids in the identification and quantification of process-related impurities or degradation products in drug substance and product analysis.
• NMR Spectroscopy Solvent/Reference: Can be employed as a deuterated agent in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies to avoid solvent interference.
• Biochemical Research: Facilitates studies on enzyme kinetics and mechanisms involving short-chain fatty acids under isotopically labeled conditions.
• Environmental Analysis: Acts as a surrogate standard in the analysis of carboxylate contaminants or biomarkers in environmental samples.
