Description

Potassium Dodecanoate-2,2-D2 is a deuterium-labeled potassium salt of lauric acid, a specialized fatty acid derivative. This isotopically labeled compound is essential for advanced research and analytical applications where precise molecular tracking is required. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science sectors for applications such as metabolic studies, tracer analysis, and as a precursor in the synthesis of labeled compounds.

Application

• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Used as a stable isotope-labeled tracer in biochemical and pharmacological research to study lipid metabolism and drug absorption.
• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry: Serves as a critical quantitative internal standard in LC-MS and GC-MS analysis for accurate measurement of lauric acid and its derivatives.
• Deuterated Surfactant Research: Employed in the study of surfactant properties, micelle formation, and interfacial behavior using spectroscopic techniques like NMR.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Acts as a building block for the synthesis of more complex deuterium-labeled active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs.
• Material Science Studies: Used in the development and analysis of specialized polymers, coatings, and nanomaterials where isotopic labeling aids in structural elucidation.
• Agrochemical Research: Applied in the development and environmental fate studies of labeled pesticides and herbicides.

Quality Control

Our Potassium Dodecanoate-2,2-D2 is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch is characterized to ensure high chemical purity and isotopic enrichment, with key parameters verified by techniques including NMR, MS, and HPLC. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific data for identity, purity (assay), isotopic purity (D-enrichment), and impurities are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation and moisture absorption.
