Description

n-Hexadecyl-16,16,16-D3 Alcohol is a deuterium-labeled analog of cetyl alcohol, a long-chain fatty alcohol. This isotopically labeled compound is essential for advanced analytical and research applications where precise molecular tracking is required. It is primarily needed by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science industries for use as an internal standard, tracer, or building block in deuterated materials.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) analysis in bioanalytical and metabolomic studies.
• Deuterated Tracer in pharmacokinetic, metabolic pathway, and environmental fate studies.
• Chemical Synthesis of deuterium-labeled surfactants, lipids, and polymers for specialized material properties.
• Pharmaceutical Research as a stable isotope-labeled intermediate for the development of new Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs).
• Reference Material for quality control and method validation in analytical laboratories.
• Basic Research in chemistry and biochemistry to study reaction mechanisms and molecular interactions using isotopic effects.
