Description

n-Butane-1-D1 is a deuterium-labeled isotopologue of n-butane, specifically deuterated at the terminal carbon position. This compound serves as a critical stable isotope-labeled standard for analytical chemistry and research, enabling precise quantification and mechanistic studies. It is primarily utilized by analytical laboratories, research institutions, and chemical manufacturers involved in gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and tracer studies in petrochemical and environmental science.

Application

• Internal Standard for GC-MS Analysis: Used as a quantitative reference standard for the analysis of volatile hydrocarbons and light gases.
• NMR Spectroscopy Solvent & Tracer: Acts as a deuterated solvent or a mechanistic probe in reaction studies due to its distinct NMR signal.
• Isotopic Tracer in Petrochemical Research: Employed to study reaction pathways, catalytic mechanisms, and fluid dynamics in hydrocarbon processing.
• Environmental Fate Studies: Used to track the degradation, transport, and transformation of butane in atmospheric and soil studies.
• Calibration of Analytical Instruments: Serves as a high-purity calibration gas for sensors and detectors measuring light alkanes.
• Synthesis of Deuterated Compounds: Acts as a building block for the synthesis of more complex deuterium-labeled organic molecules.

Quality Control

Our n-Butane-1-D1 is produced and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure isotopic and chemical purity for sensitive research applications. Each batch is analyzed by GC-MS and NMR to confirm identity, isotopic enrichment (typically >98 atom % D), and chemical purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing the isotopic purity, chemical assay, and impurity profile is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and gaseous nature under standard conditions, the product is typically supplied in sealed, pressurized gas cylinders or ampules. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Cylinder temperature should not exceed 50°C (122°F).
