Description

2-Amino-3,4-Dimethyl-3H-Imidazo[4,5-F]Quinoline-2-13C is a stable isotope-labeled heterocyclic amine, specifically a carbon-13 labeled derivative of a mutagenic compound. This product is essential for researchers requiring precise internal standards in analytical chemistry, enabling accurate quantification and metabolic pathway tracing. It is primarily used by analytical laboratories and research institutions in the fields of toxicology, food safety, and environmental analysis.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Serves as a critical quantitative reference in LC-MS and GC-MS analysis for the accurate measurement of its unlabeled counterpart and related metabolites.
• Metabolic and Pharmacokinetic Studies: Used in tracer studies to investigate the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs).
• Food Safety and Toxicology Research: Enables precise analysis of mutagenic and carcinogenic HAAs formed in cooked meats and other pyrolyzed protein-rich foods.
• Environmental Monitoring: Facilitates the detection and quantification of trace levels of similar amine contaminants in environmental samples.
• Biomarker Discovery and Validation: Assists in the development and validation of analytical methods for potential biomarkers of exposure to dietary mutagens.
• Quality Control and Method Development: Employed by chemical manufacturers and contract research organizations (CROs) to develop and validate robust analytical methods.

Quality Control

Every batch of 2-Amino-3,4-Dimethyl-3H-Imidazo[4,5-F]Quinoline-2-13C is manufactured and analyzed under strict quality management systems. We guarantee high chemical and isotopic purity, verified by advanced spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, isotopic enrichment, and solvent content is provided with each shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research protocols.

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 compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and strictly light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) when not in use to prevent degradation and ensure long-term stability.
