Description

2-Bromoethanol (1,2-13C2) CAS NO 84508-51-0 is a high-purity, isotopically labeled organic compound where the carbon atoms at positions 1 and 2 are the stable isotope carbon-13. This labeling makes it an indispensable tool for advanced research and analytical applications, providing a non-radioactive tracer for mechanistic studies and metabolic pathway elucidation. It is primarily sought by researchers and developers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and academic sectors for use in synthesis, spectroscopy (NMR), and mass spectrometry.

Application

• Isotopic Tracer in Metabolic Studies: Used to track the fate of ethanol-derived metabolites in biological systems using GC-MS or LC-MS.
• NMR Spectroscopy Standard: Serves as a carbon-13 enriched internal standard or reference compound for nuclear magnetic resonance analysis.
• Precursor for Labeled Fine Chemicals: A key synthetic intermediate for the preparation of other carbon-13 labeled compounds, such as pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals.
• Mechanistic Organic Chemistry Research: Employed in reaction mechanism studies to determine atom migration and bond formation/cleavage pathways.
• Mass Spectrometry Method Development: Used to validate and calibrate instruments due to its predictable mass shift.
• Stable Isotope Labeling (SIL) for Proteomics: Can be incorporated into reagents for quantitative proteomics and biomarker discovery.

Quality Control

Every batch of our 2-Bromoethanol (1,2-13C2) is produced and analyzed under strict quality protocols to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity, critical for sensitive research applications. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment (Atom % 13C), chemical purity, and identity confirmation. Our quality systems support compliance with relevant standards for research chemicals.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation.
