Description

Acrylonitrile-3-13C CAS NO 55757-47-6 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of acrylonitrile, where the carbon atom at the 3-position is enriched with the carbon-13 isotope. This compound is an essential tool for advanced analytical research, enabling precise metabolic pathway tracing, reaction mechanism elucidation, and internal standard quantification in mass spectrometry. It is primarily required by research scientists and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science industries for sophisticated analytical applications.

Application

• As an internal standard for the accurate quantification of acrylonitrile and its metabolites in complex biological and environmental matrices using GC-MS or LC-MS.
• For tracer studies in metabolic and pharmacokinetic research to understand the biotransformation pathways of acrylonitrile.
• In the synthesis of carbon-13 labeled polymers (e.g., ABS, SAN) for specialized material science research and NMR analysis of polymer structure and dynamics.
• Use in mechanistic organic chemistry studies to track the fate of specific carbon atoms in catalytic and polymerization reactions.
• As a critical reagent in environmental fate studies to monitor the degradation and movement of acrylonitrile in ecosystems.
• For the development and validation of regulatory-compliant analytical methods in industrial hygiene and product safety testing.

Quality Control

Our Acrylonitrile-3-13C is produced under stringent conditions to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity, meeting the exacting requirements of research and analytical applications. Each batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment (atom % 13C), chemical purity by GC, and impurity profiles. We adhere to rigorous quality testing protocols to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for your critical studies.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its highly volatile and light-sensitive nature, it is recommended to store the product at 2-8°C under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and moisture ingress.
