Description

Ethyl Acetate (2-13C) is a stable isotope-labeled analog of ethyl acetate, where the carbon atom at the 2-position is the carbon-13 isotope. This compound is essential for advanced analytical and research applications where precise molecular tracking and quantification are required. It is primarily used by researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, environmental, and metabolic studies sectors for use as an internal standard in mass spectrometry (GC-MS, LC-MS) and NMR spectroscopy.

Application

• Internal standard for quantitative analysis by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS).
• Tracer compound in metabolic pathway studies and pharmacokinetic research.
• Reference standard for NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectroscopy.
• Quality control and method development in pharmaceutical analysis.
• Environmental analysis for detecting and quantifying volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
• Research and development in organic chemistry and isotope chemistry.

Quality Control

Our Ethyl Acetate (2-13C) is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure high isotopic and chemical purity suitable for sensitive analytical applications. Each batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment, chemical purity, and solvent residues. We adhere to relevant standards for high-purity reagents and stable isotope-labeled compounds.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are securely sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability, but the product is stable at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) for routine use.
