Description

Trichloroethylene (13C2) CAS NO 93952-00-2 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of the common industrial solvent trichloroethylene, where two carbon atoms are replaced with the 13C isotope. This labeled compound is essential for use as an internal standard in quantitative mass spectrometry, ensuring precise and accurate analytical measurements. It is critically needed by analytical laboratories, environmental testing facilities, and research institutions conducting advanced studies in metabolomics, environmental pollutant tracking, and pharmacokinetics.

Application

• Primary use as an internal standard for the GC-MS or LC-MS quantification of unlabeled trichloroethylene in complex matrices.
• Critical component in environmental analysis for tracking and quantifying trichloroethylene contamination in soil, groundwater, and air samples.
• Utilized in metabolomics and biomedical research to study the metabolic pathways and biological fate of trichloroethylene exposure.
• Essential for pharmaceutical and toxicological studies investigating the pharmacokinetics, distribution, and excretion of trichloroethylene.
• Used in industrial hygiene monitoring to accurately measure occupational exposure levels to trichloroethylene vapors.
• Applied in forensic and regulatory science to provide definitive, isotope-dilution-based data for compliance and litigation support.
• Serves as a key reagent in the development and validation of high-precision analytical methods according to EPA, ISO, or other regulatory guidelines.

Quality Control

Our Trichloroethylene (13C2) is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure the high chemical and isotopic purity required for sensitive analytical applications. Each batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing parameters such as isotopic enrichment, chemical purity by GC, and solvent content. We adhere to relevant industry standards for stable isotope-labeled compounds to guarantee reliable performance and traceability in your analytical workflows.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent and highly volatile compound, ensure containers are kept upright and sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and moisture ingress. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
