Description

Ethyl Iodide, [1-14C] is a carbon-14 labeled isotopologue of ethyl iodide, a fundamental alkylating agent in organic synthesis. This radiolabeled compound is essential for tracing and quantifying metabolic pathways, reaction mechanisms, and the environmental fate of ethyl-containing molecules in research and development. It is a critical tool for scientists in pharmaceutical development, agrochemical research, and metabolic studies, where precise tracking of carbon atoms is required.

Application

• Tracer Studies in Pharmaceutical R&D: Used to investigate the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of new drug candidates containing an ethyl group.
• Mechanistic Organic Chemistry Research: Employed to elucidate reaction pathways, such as nucleophilic substitution (SN2) mechanisms, by tracking the fate of the labeled carbon.
• Agrochemical Metabolism Studies: Applied to study the degradation pathways and environmental persistence of pesticides and herbicides with ethyl moieties.
• Biochemical Pathway Analysis: Utilized in metabolic engineering and biochemistry to trace the incorporation of ethyl groups into complex biomolecules.
• Material Science Research: Can be used in the synthesis of labeled polymers or small molecules for studying material properties and degradation.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a calibrated standard for quantitative analysis using techniques like Liquid Scintillation Counting (LSC) or accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS).

Quality Control

Every batch of Ethyl Iodide, [1-14C] is produced and analyzed under strict quality protocols to ensure high chemical and radiochemical purity, essential for reliable experimental data. Our quality commitment includes verification of specific activity and rigorous testing for chemical and radiochemical identity and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay (by HPLC or GC), radiochemical purity, specific activity, and solvent composition is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at recommended cold temperatures (e.g., -20°C or as specified on the label) to minimize radiolytic decomposition and maintain stability. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are securely sealed and stored in a well-ventilated area designated for radioactive materials, in compliance with local and international regulations.
