Description

2,2,4-Trimethylpentane-D18 is a deuterated isotopologue of isooctane, where all hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium. This high-purity deuterated solvent is essential for applications requiring minimal proton interference and excellent spectral properties. It is primarily used by researchers and analytical laboratories in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy as a lock solvent and for preparing samples where a non-protonated, inert medium is critical.

Application

• NMR Spectroscopy: Serving as a primary deuterated lock solvent and sample preparation medium for proton-decoupled experiments.
• Chemical Reaction Studies: Used as an inert, deuterated solvent for mechanistic studies and kinetic isotope effect investigations.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Employed as an internal standard or reference compound in mass spectrometry and other analytical techniques.
• Polymer & Material Science: Utilized in the analysis and characterization of polymers and organic materials by NMR.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Critical for determining the structure and purity of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and intermediates via NMR.
• Deuterium Labeling: Acts as a source of deuterium atoms for synthesis of labeled compounds in medicinal chemistry and metabolic studies.

Quality Control

Our 2,2,4-Trimethylpentane-D18 is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure exceptional isotopic purity and chemical stability, meeting the stringent requirements of advanced research. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as isotopic enrichment (D-atom %), chemical purity, and NMR suitability. We adhere to relevant industry standards for high-purity deuterated solvents.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place away from heat and ignition sources. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed to prevent evaporation and potential concentration changes. Recommended storage temperature is 2-25°C.
