Description

1,2,3-Propanetriol Tris(Octanoate-1-13C) is a stable isotope-labeled analog of glyceryl trioctanoate, where the carbonyl carbon of each octanoate chain is enriched with the carbon-13 isotope. This precise labeling makes it an indispensable internal standard and tracer in advanced analytical chemistry and metabolic research. It is primarily required by research institutions, pharmaceutical developers, and analytical laboratories engaged in lipid metabolism studies, pharmacokinetic profiling, and quantitative mass spectrometry.

Application

• Quantitative Mass Spectrometry (MS) & GC-MS: Serves as a critical internal standard for the accurate quantification of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) and their metabolites in complex biological matrices.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Used in in vitro and in vivo studies to elucidate the absorption, distribution, and catabolism of dietary fats and structured lipids.
• Pharmaceutical R&D: Employed in the development and validation of bioanalytical methods for lipid-based drug formulations and prodrugs.
• Nutritional Science Research: Acts as a tracer to study energy metabolism, ketone body production, and the metabolic effects of medium-chain fatty acids.
• Stable Isotope Dilution Assays (SIDA): Provides high-accuracy reference material for assays requiring maximum precision and minimal isotopic interference.
• Quality Control & Method Development: Used by analytical service laboratories to develop, calibrate, and validate methods for lipid analysis.
