Description

Hexachloroethane (1-13C) is a stable isotope-labeled analog of hexachloroethane, where one carbon atom is replaced with the carbon-13 isotope. This compound is essential for advanced analytical and research applications requiring precise molecular tracing and quantification. It is primarily utilized by researchers and analytical laboratories in the fields of environmental science, pharmaceutical development, and metabolic studies.

Application

• As an internal standard for the accurate quantification of hexachloroethane and related compounds in environmental samples via Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS).
• In metabolic pathway tracing and degradation studies to understand the environmental fate and breakdown products of chlorinated solvents.
• For use in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy as a carbon-13 labeled reference material to aid in structural elucidation.
• As a key reagent in the synthesis of other 13C-labeled compounds for use in advanced chemical and pharmaceutical research.
• In the development and validation of analytical methods for regulatory compliance testing in industrial and environmental monitoring.
