Description

Phenol (13C6) is a stable isotope-labeled analog of phenol, where all six carbon atoms are the non-radioactive carbon-13 isotope. This compound is essential as an internal standard for precise quantitative analysis using mass spectrometry, ensuring accuracy and reliability in complex sample matrices. It is a critical tool for researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, environmental, and metabolomics fields who require definitive identification and measurement of phenol and its derivatives.

Application

• Quantitative Mass Spectrometry: Serves as a primary internal standard for the accurate quantification of phenol and related phenolic compounds in LC-MS and GC-MS analyses.
• Pharmaceutical Research & Metabolism Studies: Used in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic (DMPK) studies to track the biotransformation pathways of phenolic drugs and metabolites.
• Environmental & Food Safety Analysis: Enables precise measurement of phenol contaminants, bisphenols, and other environmental pollutants in water, soil, and food products.
• Clinical Diagnostics & Biomarker Discovery: Facilitates the stable isotope dilution method for identifying and quantifying phenolic biomarkers in biological fluids for disease research.
• Chemical Synthesis & Tracer Studies: Acts as a labeled starting material or intermediate for synthesizing more complex 13C-labeled compounds for mechanistic and kinetic studies.
• Forensic & Toxicological Analysis: Provides a reliable reference for the definitive identification and quantification of phenolic substances in forensic investigations.

Quality Control

Our Phenol (13C6) is manufactured under strict quality protocols to ensure the highest isotopic and chemical purity required for analytical applications. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment (typically ≥99 atom % 13C), chemical purity (by HPLC/GC), and identity confirmation (by NMR and MS). We support compliance with relevant standards for research and diagnostic use.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) when possible to prevent oxidation and moisture absorption. Keep away from strong oxidizers and bases.
