Description

Propene (3-13C, 99%) is a stable isotope-labeled analog of propylene, where the carbon atom at the 3-position is enriched to 99% with the carbon-13 isotope. This high isotopic purity is critical for providing an internal standard or tracer in advanced analytical and research applications, ensuring precise and unambiguous results. It is an essential material for researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and petrochemical sectors who require definitive molecular tracking and quantification.

Application

• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Used as a 13C-labeled precursor in biochemical and pharmacological research to study metabolic fluxes and drug metabolism.
• Quantitative Analytical Standard: Serves as an internal standard in Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy for accurate quantification of propylene in complex mixtures.
• Polymerization Research: Employed in the development and analysis of polypropylene and co-polymers to study polymerization mechanisms, kinetics, and catalyst performance.
• Environmental & Petrochemical Studies: Acts as a tracer in environmental fate studies and in refining process research to model reaction pathways and optimize yields.
• Organic Synthesis Intermediate: Utilized in the synthesis of more complex 13C-labeled organic compounds for use in various spectroscopic and diagnostic applications.

Quality Control

Every batch of Propene (3-13C, 99%) is manufactured and analyzed under stringent conditions to ensure the highest isotopic and chemical purity. Our quality assurance protocol includes verification by NMR and GC-MS to confirm isotopic enrichment and chemical identity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic purity, chemical purity, and gas composition is provided with each shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with your research specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its highly volatile and gaseous nature, cylinders must be secured upright and used with appropriate pressure-regulating equipment. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use.
