Description

Ethyl-13C2 Alcohol is a stable isotope-labeled analog of ethanol, where both carbon atoms are the carbon-13 isotope. This compound is essential for advanced analytical and research applications requiring precise molecular tracing and quantification. It is primarily used by scientists and quality control professionals in pharmaceutical development, metabolic research, and forensic analysis to obtain highly accurate and reliable data.

Application

• Internal Standard for Quantitative Analysis: Used as a critical reference standard in Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) for the accurate quantification of ethanol and related compounds in complex matrices.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Enables detailed studies of ethanol metabolism, absorption, and distribution in biomedical and pharmacological research.
• Pharmaceutical Impurity Profiling: Serves as a tracer in method development and validation for detecting and quantifying residual solvents in Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and drug products.
• Forensic and Clinical Toxicology: Provides a definitive standard for calibrating instruments in blood alcohol content (BAC) testing and other forensic analyses.
• NMR Spectroscopy: Acts as a chemical shift reference or a labeled starting material in synthetic chemistry for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) studies.
• Biochemical Research: Utilized in enzymatic studies and the investigation of biochemical reactions involving ethanol.

Quality Control

Every batch of Ethyl-13C2 Alcohol is produced and analyzed under strict quality management protocols. We guarantee high chemical and isotopic purity, with comprehensive testing performed using advanced techniques including GC, GC-MS, NMR, and Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS). A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results for assay, isotopic enrichment, and purity is provided with each shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or quality control standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept upright and sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and concentration changes. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
