Description

β-D-[Ul-13C6]Fructofuranosyl α-D-[Ul-13C6]Glucopyranoside is a uniformly carbon-13 labeled isotopologue of sucrose, a fundamental disaccharide. This stable isotope-labeled compound is essential for advanced analytical research, providing a critical internal standard for precise quantification and metabolic pathway tracing. It is primarily used by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutritional science, and biochemistry sectors who require high-fidelity analytical standards for mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.

Application

• Internal Standard for Quantitative Mass Spectrometry (MS): Provides accurate quantification of sucrose and related metabolites in complex biological matrices like blood, urine, and plant extracts.
• Metabolic Flux Analysis (MFA): Used as a tracer to study carbohydrate metabolism, glycolysis, and biosynthetic pathways in living systems, including microbial, plant, and mammalian cells.
• NMR Spectroscopy Studies: Serves as a valuable probe for investigating molecular structure, dynamics, and interactions without background signal interference from natural abundance 13C.
• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Facilitates drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) studies for compounds affecting sugar metabolism or utilizing sugar conjugates.
• Nutritional Science & Food Analysis: Enables precise tracking of sucrose absorption, distribution, and utilization in nutritional studies and food authenticity testing.
• Biochemical Reagent: Acts as a high-purity substrate or standard in enzymatic assays and biochemical reaction studies.

Quality Control

Every batch of our 13C-labeled sucrose is produced and analyzed under strict quality protocols to ensure isotopic and chemical purity for sensitive research applications. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) that detail isotopic enrichment (typically >99 atom% 13C), chemical purity (by HPLC), and specific analytical data. Our quality system is designed to meet the rigorous standards required for analytical reference materials and metabolic research.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at 2-8°C (refrigerated) or as indicated on the label or CoA. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature in a dry environment before opening to prevent condensation and moisture uptake.
