Description

Hexachloro-1,3-Butadiene (13C4) is a stable isotope-labeled analog of hexachlorobutadiene, where all four carbon atoms are the carbon-13 isotope. This compound is a critical analytical standard and tracer used in environmental, metabolic, and toxicological research to ensure accurate quantification and traceability. It is essential for scientists and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and environmental monitoring sectors who require high-purity, isotopically labeled materials for advanced mass spectrometry and NMR studies.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Used as a quantitative reference in GC-MS and LC-MS analyses for the accurate measurement of unlabeled hexachlorobutadiene and related compounds in complex matrices.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Serves as a stable isotope tracer in studies investigating the biotransformation, degradation, and metabolic fate of chlorinated hydrocarbons in biological and environmental systems.
• Environmental Analysis: Employed in method development and validation for detecting and quantifying persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in soil, water, and air samples.
• Toxicology and Pharmacokinetics: Facilitates precise studies on the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of halogenated compounds.
• NMR Spectroscopy: Acts as a valuable probe for structural elucidation and dynamic studies due to the enhanced sensitivity provided by the 13C4 label.
• Quality Control & Method Validation: Provides a certified reference material for ensuring the accuracy and precision of analytical methods in regulatory and industrial QC labs.
