Description

Formaldehyde-13C, D2 Solution is a stable isotope-labeled analog of formaldehyde, where the carbon atom is replaced by carbon-13 and the hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium. This compound is essential as a critical tracer and internal standard in advanced analytical research, enabling precise quantification and metabolic pathway elucidation. It is primarily required by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and analytical chemistry sectors for applications in mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy, and metabolic studies.

Application

• As a stable isotope-labeled internal standard for the accurate quantification of formaldehyde and related metabolites in complex biological matrices via LC-MS or GC-MS.
• For use in NMR spectroscopy studies, where the 13C and D labels provide distinct signals for tracking molecular structure, dynamics, and reaction mechanisms.
• In metabolic pathway tracing and pharmacokinetic research to study the fate of formaldehyde in biological systems.
• As a specialized reagent in the synthesis of deuterated and 13C-labeled compounds for use as analytical standards or in advanced material science.
• For quality control and method development in analytical laboratories requiring high-purity reference materials.

Quality Control

Our Formaldehyde-13C, D2 Solution is produced and handled under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including isotopic purity (13C and D enrichment) assay by NMR and/or MS, chemical purity assessment, and concentration verification. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided to ensure traceability and compliance with your research specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place. Due to its highly volatile nature, keep the container tightly sealed when not in use and store at recommended temperatures (typically 2-8°C or as specified on the label) to maintain stability and prevent evaporation or concentration changes.
