Description

Ethane-D is a deuterated analog of ethane, where hydrogen atoms are replaced by the stable isotope deuterium (²H). This isotopic labeling is critical for advanced research and analytical applications where molecular tracing and spectroscopic clarity are paramount. It is an essential tool for scientists in the fields of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, reaction mechanism studies, and as a tracer in chemical and biological systems. Industries and research institutions requiring precise molecular probes for kinetic studies, metabolic research, and material science rely on its isotopic purity.

Application

• Internal standard and tracer in gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) for quantitative analysis.
• Solvent and reagent in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, particularly for 1H NMR deuterium lock and solvent suppression.
• Precursor in the synthesis of other deuterated compounds and fine chemicals for pharmaceutical and material science research.
• Studies of reaction kinetics and mechanisms in organic and organometallic chemistry.
• Metabolic pathway tracing and biomarker research in biological and pharmacological studies.
• Component in specialized fuel and combustion research for analyzing reaction dynamics.
• Used in the production of semiconductors and electronic materials where controlled isotopic composition is required.
• Reference material for calibrating spectroscopic instruments and ensuring analytical accuracy.

Quality Control

Our Ethane-D is produced and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity, which is vital for sensitive analytical applications. Each batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as isotopic enrichment (Atom % D), chemical purity, and impurity profiles. We adhere to high-purity standards suitable for research and development, with specifications tailored to meet the rigorous demands of spectroscopic and tracer applications. Certificates of Analysis are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and gaseous nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Cylinders should be secured in an upright position. Use appropriate pressure-rated containers designed for compressed/liquefied gases. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent loss and maintain purity.
