Description

Sucrose-Ul-14C Solution is a uniformly labeled carbon-14 tracer essential for advanced metabolic and biochemical research. This high-specific-activity compound provides a critical tool for precise tracking of carbohydrate metabolism and carbon flux in complex biological systems. It is primarily utilized by research scientists and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and agricultural chemical sectors for drug metabolism studies (DMPK), plant physiology research, and environmental fate analysis.

Application

• Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics (DMPK): Tracing the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of new chemical entities and excipients.
• Plant Biology & Physiology Research: Studying photosynthetic carbon fixation, sucrose transport, and carbohydrate partitioning in crops and model plants.
• Biochemical Pathway Analysis: Elucidating glycolytic, gluconeogenic, and pentose phosphate pathways in microbial, mammalian, and plant cell cultures.
• Environmental Fate Studies: Investigating the biodegradation and mineralization of sucrose-based compounds in soil and aquatic systems.
• Radiochemical Synthesis: Serving as a labeled precursor for the synthesis of more complex carbon-14 labeled molecules.
• Quality Control & Reference Standard: Use as an internal standard in analytical methods such as LC-MS for quantification.
