Description

Octanoic-2,2-D2 Acid is a deuterium-labeled derivative of caprylic acid, a medium-chain fatty acid. This isotopically modified compound is essential for advanced analytical and research applications where precise molecular tracking is required. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science industries for use as an internal standard, a metabolic tracer, or a building block for labeled compounds.

Application

• Internal standard for the quantitative analysis of fatty acids and related metabolites via Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS).
• Metabolic tracer in biomedical and nutritional research to study lipid metabolism, energy pathways, and disease mechanisms.
• Deuterated precursor in the synthesis of isotopically labeled pharmaceuticals for drug discovery and development.
• Key starting material for producing deuterated surfactants, lubricants, or polymers in advanced material science.
• Stable isotope labeling for NMR spectroscopy studies to elucidate molecular structure and dynamics.
• Use in environmental fate studies to trace the degradation and transformation of organic compounds.

Quality Control

Our Octanoic-2,2-D2 Acid is produced under controlled conditions to ensure high isotopic and chemical purity, meeting the stringent requirements of research and analytical applications. Each batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing parameters such as isotopic purity (D-enrichment), chemical purity, and identity confirmation. We adhere to rigorous in-house quality standards to ensure reliable batch-to-batch consistency and traceability.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent, ensure containers are properly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and contamination.
