Description

Acetone-D6 is a deuterated analog of acetone, where all six hydrogen atoms are replaced by the stable isotope deuterium, resulting in a molecular formula of (CD3)2CO. This isotopic labeling is critical for applications requiring minimal spectral interference, making it an indispensable tool in advanced analytical and research fields. It is primarily utilized by scientists and quality control professionals in the pharmaceutical, analytical chemistry, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy sectors.

Application

• Primary solvent and chemical shift reference standard in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
• Internal standard or deuterated solvent for mass spectrometry (MS) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.
• Key starting material or reagent in the synthesis of deuterium-labeled pharmaceutical compounds for metabolic and pharmacokinetic studies.
• Used in organic and polymer chemistry research to study reaction mechanisms and kinetics using isotopic tracing.
• Essential for quality control laboratories requiring high-purity, spectroscopically inert solvents for instrument calibration and method validation.

Quality Control

Our Acetone-D6 is produced and tested to meet the stringent requirements of research and analytical applications. Each batch undergoes rigorous analysis to ensure high isotopic purity and chemical specification. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA), detailing parameters such as isotopic enrichment, assay, and impurity profiles, is provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 and hygroscopic nature, the container should be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and evaporation. Recommended storage temperature is 2-25°C.
