Description

Hexadecanoic-12-D1 Acid is a deuterium-labeled isotopologue of palmitic acid, a fundamental saturated fatty acid. This compound is essential for advanced research and analytical applications where precise molecular tracking is required. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biochemical, and metabolic studies sectors who require high-purity, isotopically labeled standards.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry: Used as a quantitative and qualitative reference in GC-MS and LC-MS analysis of lipids and fatty acids.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Employed in deuterium-labeling studies to investigate lipid metabolism, β-oxidation, and biosynthetic pathways.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Serves as a key intermediate or labeled precursor in the development and testing of new drug compounds.
• Biochemical Assays: Utilized in enzymatic studies and in vitro diagnostics to understand fatty acid processing and related disorders.
• Nutritional Science Research: Applied in studies examining the absorption, distribution, and effects of dietary saturated fats.
• Stable Isotope Labeling: Acts as a building block for synthesizing more complex deuterated molecules for NMR and other spectroscopic techniques.
