Description

Tetradecanoic-12-D1 Acid is a deuterium-labeled isotopologue of myristic acid, a common saturated fatty acid, where a deuterium atom replaces hydrogen at the 12th carbon position. This precise isotopic labeling makes it an indispensable internal standard and tracer in advanced analytical chemistry and metabolic research. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and agrochemical sectors for applications requiring high specificity in mass spectrometry and NMR studies.

Application

• Internal Standard for Quantitative Analysis: Serves as a critical reference compound in Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) for the accurate quantification of myristic acid and related metabolites.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Used in stable isotope labeling studies to elucidate lipid metabolism, fatty acid oxidation, and biosynthetic pathways in biological systems.
• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Employed in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) studies to track the fate of drug molecules and their metabolites.
• Biochemical & Nutritional Studies: Facilitates research into lipidomics, membrane biology, and the metabolic effects of dietary fats.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Acts as a labeled building block for the synthesis of more complex deuterated compounds for research and diagnostic purposes.
• Quality Control & Method Validation: Essential for developing and validating highly precise analytical methods in regulatory and quality control laboratories.
