Description

Geraniol-D6 is a deuterium-labeled isotopologue of the naturally occurring monoterpenoid alcohol, geraniol, with the CAS number 66063-44-3. This high-purity stable isotope-labeled compound is essential for advanced analytical applications where precise quantification and metabolic pathway tracing are required. It is a critical tool for researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, flavor & fragrance, and agrochemical industries.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS/LC-MS): Primary use as a quantitative internal standard in analytical methods for the accurate measurement of natural geraniol in complex matrices.
• Metabolic and Pharmacokinetic Studies: Tracing the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of geraniol in biological systems without interference from endogenous compounds.
• Flavor and Fragrance Research: Investigating the biogenesis, stability, and authenticity of geraniol in essential oils, perfumes, and food products.
• Deuterium Labeling Synthesis: Serving as a building block for the synthesis of more complex deuterated molecules for research and development.
• Quality Control & Assurance: Ensuring batch-to-batch consistency and purity in the production of geraniol and related terpenoids.

Quality Control

Our Geraniol-D6 is manufactured under strict quality systems to ensure the highest isotopic and chemical purity required for sensitive analytical applications. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing results for isotopic enrichment (D-atom %), chemical purity (by GC and/or HPLC), and identity confirmation (by NMR and MS). We support compliance with cGMP and ISO 9001 standards for research and quality control use.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C (refrigerated) for long-term stability. The compound is sensitive to strong acids and organic solvents; ensure compatible storage conditions. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent volatilization and moisture absorption.
