Description

Ethane (1-13C) is a stable isotope-labeled analog of ethane, where a carbon-13 atom is specifically incorporated at the 1-position. This precise labeling makes it an indispensable tool for advanced research and analytical applications requiring isotopic tracing. It is primarily utilized by scientists and engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and petrochemical industries for mechanistic studies, metabolic pathway analysis, and as a standard in quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (qNMR) spectroscopy.

Application

• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Used in biological and environmental studies to track the fate of ethane and its derivatives in complex systems.
• Quantitative NMR (qNMR) Standard: Serves as a high-purity internal standard for the accurate quantification of organic compounds via 13C NMR spectroscopy.
• Catalysis and Reaction Mechanism Studies: Employed to investigate reaction pathways, intermediates, and kinetics in hydrocarbon conversion and catalytic processes.
• Environmental and Atmospheric Research: Acts as a tracer gas in studies of atmospheric chemistry, pollution dispersion, and greenhouse gas cycling.
• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Utilized in the synthesis of isotopically labeled drug candidates for pharmacokinetic and metabolic stability studies.
• Geochemical Prospecting: Applied in oil and gas exploration as a diagnostic tracer in subsurface fluid analysis.
