Description

n-Butane-1,1,1,2,2-D5 is a deuterated isotopologue of n-butane, where five hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium, a stable hydrogen isotope. This high level of deuteration makes it an essential internal standard and tracer in advanced analytical chemistry and metabolic research. It is primarily used by researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, petrochemical, and environmental science sectors for precise quantification and mechanistic studies.

Application

• Internal Standard for GC-MS & GC-FID: Used for the accurate quantification of light hydrocarbons and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in complex matrices.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracer: Employed in pharmaceutical and biochemical research to study the metabolism and degradation pathways of butane and related compounds.
• NMR Spectroscopy Solvent & Reference: Serves as a chemical shift reference or a component in solvent mixtures for nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
• Petroleum & Petrochemical Research: Acts as a labeled standard for analyzing fuel composition, combustion processes, and catalyst testing.
• Environmental Analysis: Utilized in tracing atmospheric pollutants and studying the environmental fate of hydrocarbon emissions.
• Synthesis of Deuterated Compounds: Serves as a building block for the synthesis of more complex deuterium-labeled molecules for research and development.

Quality Control

Every batch of n-Butane-1,1,1,2,2-D5 is produced and analyzed under strict quality management protocols to ensure the highest isotopic and chemical purity for research applications. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing, including comprehensive spectroscopic analysis, to ensure compliance with customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment, chemical purity, and analytical methods are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated place away from heat and ignition sources. For long-term stability, storage under an inert atmosphere in a sealed, pressure-rated container is recommended. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use.
