Description

Butane-1,4-13C2 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of n-butane, where two carbon atoms at the 1 and 4 positions are replaced with the carbon-13 isotope. This compound is essential for advanced analytical research, providing a non-radioactive tracer for precise metabolic and mechanistic studies. It is primarily used by researchers and scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and environmental sectors for applications requiring high isotopic purity and reliable performance in mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy.

Application

• Internal Standard in Mass Spectrometry (MS): Used for the accurate quantification of butane and related compounds in complex matrices.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Serves as a critical tool in pharmaceutical R&D for studying drug metabolism and disposition.
• NMR Spectroscopy Studies: Provides distinct spectral signatures for structural elucidation and reaction mechanism analysis.
• Environmental Fate Studies: Employed to track the degradation and transformation of hydrocarbons in environmental samples.
• Chemical Reaction Mechanism Analysis: Acts as a labeled precursor or intermediate to elucidate reaction pathways in catalytic processes.
• Quality Control Reference Material: Used in analytical laboratories to validate methods and calibrate instruments for hydrocarbon analysis.

Quality Control

Every batch of Butane-1,4-13C2 is produced and analyzed under strict quality management protocols to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing, including NMR and GC-MS analysis, to ensure compliance with exacting research standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment, chemical purity, and other critical parameters are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and gaseous nature under standard conditions, this product is typically supplied in a sealed gas cylinder or ampule. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and open flames. The container must be kept securely sealed when not in use to prevent loss and maintain purity.
