Description

Sodium Octanoate-D15 is the deuterium-labeled sodium salt of octanoic acid, a high-purity analytical standard essential for precise quantification and metabolic pathway tracing. This compound is critical for researchers and manufacturers requiring the highest level of accuracy in mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. It is primarily utilized in pharmaceutical development, biochemical research, and advanced material science where isotopic labeling is necessary for detailed mechanistic studies.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Serves as a critical quantitative reference standard in LC-MS and GC-MS analysis for accurate measurement of octanoate and related compounds in complex matrices.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Used in biochemical and pharmacological research to track the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of fatty acids and their derivatives.
• NMR Spectroscopy Studies: Provides a non-radioactive isotopic label for structural elucidation and dynamic studies of lipids, surfactants, and organic molecules.
• Pharmaceutical Impurity Profiling: Employed in the development and quality control of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to identify and quantify process-related impurities.
• Nutritional and Metabolic Research: Facilitates studies on medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) metabolism, ketogenic diets, and energy homeostasis.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Acts as a labeled building block for the synthesis of more complex deuterated compounds for research and diagnostic purposes.
