Description

(+)-Cis,trans-Abscisic Acid-D6 is a deuterium-labeled isotopologue of the key plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA). This high-purity, stable-labeled standard is essential for precise quantitative analysis in plant physiology and agricultural research. It is primarily used by researchers and analytical laboratories in the agrochemical, biotechnology, and plant science sectors for applications requiring high sensitivity and accuracy, such as mass spectrometry-based metabolomics and pharmacokinetic studies.

Application

• Internal Standard for Quantitative Analysis: Serves as a critical internal standard in LC-MS/MS and GC-MS methods for the accurate quantification of endogenous abscisic acid levels in plant tissues, eliminating matrix effects and improving data reliability.
• Plant Stress Physiology Research: Used in studies investigating plant responses to abiotic stress (drought, salinity, cold) and biotic stress, enabling precise tracking of ABA biosynthesis and catabolism.
• Agrochemical Development & Mode-of-Action Studies: Facilitates the analysis of ABA metabolism in the development of novel plant growth regulators and in understanding the biochemical pathways of existing agrochemicals.
• Seed Dormancy and Germination Studies: Employed in research on seed physiology to quantify ABA fluctuations that control dormancy break and germination timing.
• Metabolomic Profiling: A key component in targeted metabolomics workflows for the comprehensive analysis of phytohormone networks in plants.
• Quality Control & Method Validation: Used by manufacturers of diagnostic kits and analytical service providers to validate and calibrate ABA assay methods, ensuring consistency and compliance.
