Description

Acetaldehyde-D4 Diethyl Acetal is a deuterated derivative of acetaldehyde diethyl acetal, where four hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen. This isotopic labeling makes it an essential tool for advanced analytical chemistry, providing a non-radioactive tracer for mechanistic studies and metabolic pathway analysis. It is primarily used by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and analytical instrumentation industries who require high-purity, isotopically labeled standards for mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy, and kinetic studies.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Used as a quantitative reference standard in GC-MS and LC-MS analyses to ensure accuracy in the measurement of acetaldehyde and related compounds.
• NMR Spectroscopy Solvent & Reagent: Serves as a deuterated solvent or reagent in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies for structural elucidation and reaction monitoring.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Acts as a stable isotopic tracer in pharmaceutical and biochemical research to investigate drug metabolism and biochemical reaction mechanisms.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Employed in the synthesis of more complex deuterated organic compounds where the labeled acetaldehyde moiety needs to be introduced.
• Quality Control & Method Development: Critical for developing and validating analytical methods in regulatory and quality control laboratories.

Quality Control

Every batch of Acetaldehyde-D4 Diethyl Acetal is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity suitable for sensitive analytical applications. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment (D-atom %), chemical purity by GC, and impurity profiles. Our quality commitment aligns with the standards expected for high-grade research chemicals, supporting compliance in GLP and ISO 17025 accredited environments.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept upright and sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and contamination.
