Description

Acetic Acid, Sodium Salt, [2-14C]- is a carbon-14 labeled isotopologue of sodium acetate, a fundamental chemical salt. This radiolabeled compound is essential for precise metabolic pathway tracing and pharmacokinetic studies in research and development. It is a critical tool for scientists and quality control professionals in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and biochemical research industries who require high-specific-activity tracers for autoradiography, LC-MS, and ADME studies.

Application

• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Used as a radiolabeled precursor to track the incorporation and fate of acetate units in biochemical synthesis and degradation pathways.
• Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics (DMPK): A vital tool in ADME (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion) studies for new drug candidates.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in enzymatic assays and studies of acetyl-CoA metabolism, histone acetylation, and fatty acid synthesis.
• Environmental Fate Studies: Used to trace the degradation and transformation of acetate-related compounds in environmental samples.
• Quality Control & Analytical Standards: Serves as an internal standard or tracer in advanced analytical techniques like Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS).
• Agricultural Chemical Research: Applied in studies to understand the metabolism and environmental impact of herbicides and pesticides.

Quality Control

Every batch of our carbon-14 labeled sodium acetate is manufactured and analyzed under strict quality systems to ensure high radiochemical purity and specific activity. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing, including HPLC and radio-HPLC analysis, to ensure compliance with research-grade standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific activity, radiochemical purity, chemical purity, and solvent composition are provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at 2-8°C. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed properly after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider conditions as recommended on the specific product analysis certificate.
