Description

Propane-13C3 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of propane where all three carbon atoms are the carbon-13 (13C) isotope. This high-purity compound is essential for advanced analytical applications requiring precise internal standards and tracer studies. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, pharmaceutical developers, and analytical laboratories engaged in metabolic research, environmental monitoring, and sophisticated gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis.

Application

• Internal Standard for Quantitative Analysis: Serves as a critical reference standard in GC-MS for the accurate quantification of natural propane in complex matrices like environmental air samples or petrochemical streams.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracer: Used in biomedical and biochemical research to track and elucidate metabolic pathways and mechanisms in biological systems.
• Environmental Fate Studies: Employed as a tracer gas to study the transport, degradation, and environmental behavior of hydrocarbon pollutants.
• Instrument Calibration and Method Development: Essential for calibrating mass spectrometers and developing validated analytical methods in forensic and regulatory testing labs.
• Chemical Reaction Mechanism Studies: Used in physical chemistry and catalysis research to investigate reaction intermediates and kinetics.
• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Supports drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) studies in the development of new therapeutic agents.

Quality Control

Our Propane-13C3 is manufactured under strict quality systems to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity. Each batch is analyzed using advanced techniques including Gas Chromatography (GC) and Mass Spectrometry (MS) to verify composition and isotopic enrichment. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, isotopic abundance, and analytical results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical research.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and gaseous nature, store in a certified gas cylinder or appropriate sealed pressure vessel in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and ignition points. Cylinder temperature should not exceed 50°C (122°F).
