Description

n-Eicosane-D42 is a fully deuterated isotopologue of the straight-chain alkane eicosane, specifically designed for advanced analytical and research applications. Its high isotopic purity makes it an invaluable internal standard and reference material in mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. This compound is essential for researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, petrochemical, and advanced materials sectors who require precise molecular tracking and quantification.

Application

• Internal Standard for Quantitative Analysis: Used as a deuterated internal standard in Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) for the accurate quantification of hydrocarbons and related compounds.
• NMR Spectroscopy Solvent & Reference: Serves as a chemical shift reference and a solvent for NMR studies, particularly for analyzing compounds soluble in non-polar, deuterated environments.
• Metabolic and Environmental Tracer: Employed in tracer studies to investigate metabolic pathways, environmental fate, and biodegradation processes of aliphatic hydrocarbons.
• Polymer and Material Science Research: Used as a model compound or additive in studies of polymer crystallization, lubrication, and the development of specialty materials.
• Calibration Standard: Acts as a high-purity calibration standard for analytical instrument validation and method development in petrochemical and environmental testing laboratories.
