Description

Hexadecanoic-9,9,10,10,11,11,12,12,13,13,14,14,15,15,16,16,16-D17 Acid is a high-purity, deuterium-labeled analog of palmitic acid, a key saturated fatty acid. This compound is essential for advanced research and development, providing a stable, non-radioactive isotopic tracer for precise metabolic and biochemical studies. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, analytical chemistry service providers, and academic institutions engaged in lipidomics, drug metabolism, and stable isotope labeling.

Application

• Stable Isotope Labeling in Metabolic Studies: Used as an internal standard in mass spectrometry for the quantitative analysis of palmitic acid and its derivatives in biological samples.
• Pharmaceutical Research & Drug Development: Serves as a critical tracer to investigate lipid metabolism pathways, drug-lipid interactions, and pharmacokinetics.
• Biochemical & Nutritional Research: Enables detailed tracking of fatty acid uptake, β-oxidation, and complex lipid biosynthesis in cell cultures and model organisms.
• Analytical Chemistry Standards: Provides a high-purity reference material for calibrating instruments and validating analytical methods (GC-MS, LC-MS).
• Lipidomics and Proteomics: Facilitates accurate profiling and relative quantification of lipids in complex mixtures for systems biology research.

Quality Control

Every batch of our deuterium-labeled palmitic acid is manufactured and analyzed under strict quality management protocols to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity, critical for sensitive analytical applications. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment (D-enrichment), chemical purity by HPLC, and identity confirmation. Our quality systems support compliance with cGMP standards for research-grade materials.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere to prevent degradation.
