Description

Formamide-13C is a stable isotope-labeled analog of formamide, where the carbon atom is the carbon-13 (13C) isotope. This compound is essential as a high-purity tracer and building block in advanced research, enabling precise metabolic pathway analysis and structural elucidation via Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and Mass Spectrometry (MS). It is primarily used by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and analytical chemistry industries for drug discovery, metabolic studies, and the synthesis of labeled compounds.

Application

• NMR Spectroscopy: Used as an internal standard or chemical shift reference in carbon-13 NMR studies.
• Mass Spectrometry: Serves as a labeled precursor for synthesizing internal standards for quantitative MS analysis.
• Metabolic Research: Acts as a tracer to study formamide and formate metabolism in biological systems.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Employed in the synthesis of carbon-13 labeled active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for clinical trials and pharmacokinetic studies.
• Chemical Synthesis: A valuable labeled reagent for preparing other 13C-labeled intermediates and fine chemicals.
• Environmental Science: Used in tracing studies to understand the environmental fate of formamide and related compounds.

Quality Control

Our Formamide-13C is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including NMR and MS, to confirm isotopic enrichment (typically ≥99 atom % 13C) and chemical purity. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with your research specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container should be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to minimize moisture absorption and maintain stability. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C.
