Description

Pyrene-4,5,9,10-14C is a carbon-14 labeled isotopologue of pyrene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), specifically designed for advanced research and analytical applications. This compound is essential for conducting precise metabolic, environmental, and toxicological studies where the tracking of pyrene and its derivatives is required. It is primarily utilized by researchers and scientists in the fields of environmental science, analytical chemistry, and pharmaceutical development who require a reliable, high-purity tracer.

Application

• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Used as a radiolabeled tracer in biological systems to study the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of pyrene and related PAHs.
• Environmental Fate Studies: Critical for investigating the degradation, bioaccumulation, and transport of pyrene in soil, water, and air to assess environmental impact and remediation strategies.
• Analytical Method Development: Serves as an internal standard or reference material in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and other analytical techniques for quantifying pyrene levels.
• Toxicology and Safety Research: Enables detailed studies on the toxicological profile and carcinogenic potential of pyrene in controlled laboratory settings.
• Chemical Synthesis Research: Acts as a labeled building block for synthesizing more complex 14C-labeled compounds for specialized research purposes.
