Description

Potassium Tetradecanoate-2,2-D2 is a deuterium-labeled potassium salt of myristic acid, a key isotopically modified fatty acid derivative. This compound is essential for advanced research and development, providing a stable, non-radioactive isotopic tracer for mechanistic studies in metabolic pathways and material science. It is primarily utilized by researchers and formulators in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and specialty chemical industries for applications requiring precise molecular tracking and analysis.

Application

• As a stable isotopic internal standard for the quantitative analysis of myristic acid and its derivatives via mass spectrometry (GC-MS, LC-MS).
• In metabolic pathway tracing and pharmacokinetic studies within pharmaceutical R&D to understand drug metabolism and lipid biochemistry.
• For the synthesis of deuterium-labeled surfactants, lipids, and polymers to study structure-property relationships and material behavior.
• As a specialized reagent in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to aid in complex molecular structure elucidation.
• In the development and quality control of deuterated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and advanced materials.
• For fundamental research in organic chemistry involving kinetic isotope effect (KIE) studies and reaction mechanism investigations.

Quality Control

Our Potassium Tetradecanoate-2,2-D2 is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including NMR and mass spectrometry, to confirm isotopic enrichment, chemical purity, and identity. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided, documenting the assay, isotopic purity, and relevant physicochemical parameters to ensure compliance with your research specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a desiccated environment to prevent degradation. Handle and store in accordance with all applicable laboratory safety regulations.
