Description

Capric Acid-1-13C CAS NO 84600-66-8 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of capric acid (decanoic acid), where the carbon-13 isotope is specifically incorporated at the carboxyl carbon position. This precise labeling is critical for advanced analytical and research applications requiring high specificity and traceability. It is an essential tool for scientists and quality control professionals in the pharmaceutical, nutritional, and metabolic research industries who require reliable internal standards for mass spectrometry and NMR studies.

Application

• Internal standard for the quantitative analysis of capric acid and related medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) via Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS).
• Tracer compound in metabolic pathway studies and pharmacokinetic research to investigate lipid metabolism and drug interactions.
• Key component in the development and validation of clinical diagnostic assays for metabolic disorders.
• Used in nutritional research to study the absorption and utilization of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs).
• Essential for pharmaceutical impurity profiling and degradation studies of drug substances and products containing fatty acid moieties.
• High-purity reference material for calibrating analytical instruments and ensuring data accuracy in regulatory environments.
