Description

Vanillin (Methoxy-13C) CAS NO 86884-84-6 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of vanillin, where the methoxy carbon atom is enriched with the carbon-13 isotope. This compound is critically important as an internal standard for precise quantitative analysis in mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, ensuring accuracy and reliability in complex matrices. It is primarily needed by analytical laboratories, research institutions, and pharmaceutical companies engaged in method development, metabolic studies, and flavor authenticity testing.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Essential for accurate quantification of vanillin and related compounds in food, flavor, and fragrance analysis using GC-MS or LC-MS.
• NMR Spectroscopy Tracer: Used in metabolic pathway studies and structural elucidation where tracking the methoxy carbon is required.
• Food & Flavor Authentication: Aids in detecting adulteration and verifying the natural or synthetic origin of vanilla flavors.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Employed in pharmacokinetic and drug metabolism studies to trace the fate of vanillin-derived compounds.
• Quality Control & Method Validation: Serves as a reference standard to validate analytical methods in compliance with ISO, FDA, or other regulatory guidelines.
• Environmental & Bioanalytical Testing: Used in trace analysis of phenolic compounds in environmental samples and biological fluids.
