Description

Fluoroethane-D5 (Gas) is a deuterated isotopologue of fluoroethane, specifically identified by CAS NO 53886-01-4. This compound is valued for its role as a stable, non-reactive isotopic tracer and a precursor in advanced chemical synthesis. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical sectors who require precise labeling for reaction mechanism studies, metabolic pathway tracing, and the development of novel deuterated compounds.

Application

• As a deuterated internal standard for gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis in environmental and pharmaceutical testing.
• As a precursor and building block in the synthesis of more complex deuterium-labeled fine chemicals and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• For mechanistic studies in organic and organofluorine chemistry, utilizing deuterium kinetic isotope effects (DKIE).
• In nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy as a solvent or reference material where proton signals must be minimized.
• For plasma etching and deposition processes in the semiconductor and microelectronics industries.
• In the development of deuterated refrigerants and propellants for specialized applications requiring altered physical properties.

Quality Control

Our Fluoroethane-D5 (Gas) is produced and handled under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch is analyzed to ensure high isotopic purity and chemical integrity, with key parameters verified by advanced analytical techniques including GC-MS and NMR. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment, chemical purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed, appropriately rated cylinder or container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Due to its gaseous and highly volatile nature, store away from heat, sparks, open flames, and direct sunlight. Cylinders should be secured upright and protected from physical damage. The storage area should be dry and free from incompatible materials.
