Description

Formamide-18O is a stable isotope-labeled analog of formamide, where the oxygen atom is enriched with the Oxygen-18 isotope. This product is essential for advanced research and analytical applications requiring isotopic tracing and mass spectrometry. It is a critical reagent for scientists in pharmaceutical development, metabolic studies, and chemical reaction mechanism elucidation.

Application

• As an isotopic tracer in mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies.
• Internal standard for the quantitative analysis of formamide and related compounds.
• Precursor in the synthesis of other 18O-labeled compounds and pharmaceuticals.
• Use in metabolic pathway research and proteomics to track biochemical processes.
• Reagent for studying reaction mechanisms, particularly those involving oxygen transfer.
• Essential component in the development and validation of analytical methods.

Quality Control

Our Formamide-18O is produced under strict quality-controlled conditions to ensure high isotopic and chemical purity. Each batch is analyzed to confirm identity, isotopic enrichment, and purity, with comprehensive documentation available. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic purity (atom % 18O), chemical purity, and specific tests is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container should be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption. Handle and store in accordance with good laboratory practices.
