Description

Formic Acid C-D CAS NO 917-71-5 is a high-purity, isotopically labeled formic acid where the carbon atom is the stable isotope carbon-13 (¹³C). This compound is an essential analytical standard and reagent in advanced research, offering a critical tool for precise metabolic and environmental tracing studies. It is primarily required by analytical laboratories, pharmaceutical R&D departments, and academic institutions engaged in mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and isotope dilution analysis.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Used as a quantitative reference in LC-MS and GC-MS for the accurate measurement of formic acid and related compounds in complex matrices.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Serves as a ¹³C-labeled precursor to study biochemical pathways, fermentation processes, and cellular metabolism in biological systems.
• NMR Spectroscopy Solvent & Standard: Employed as a chemical shift reference or as a labeled component in reaction mixtures for structural elucidation and kinetic studies.
• Environmental Fate Studies: Tracks the degradation, transformation, and movement of formic acid and its derivatives in environmental samples.
• Pharmaceutical Impurity Profiling: Aids in the identification and quantification of process-related impurities and degradants during drug development.
• Isotope Dilution Analysis (IDA): Provides high-accuracy results in clinical diagnostics and food safety testing for formate level determination.

Quality Control

Every batch of our Formic Acid C-D is produced and analyzed under strict quality protocols to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity, critical for sensitive analytical applications. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment (Atom % ¹³C and D), chemical purity by NMR and titration, and solvent residue profiles. Our quality system is designed to meet the rigorous standards expected in pharmaceutical and high-end research environments.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area dedicated to chemical storage. Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent and high volatility, ensure containers are securely sealed and stored upright away from heat sources and incompatible materials.
