Description

Decane-1-14C is a high-purity, isotopically labeled standard where a carbon-14 atom is specifically incorporated at the first position of the decane molecule. This compound is essential for precise metabolic and environmental tracer studies, providing unmatched specificity in tracking hydrocarbon pathways. It is a critical tool for researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and environmental science sectors requiring definitive analytical data.

Application

• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Used as a radiolabeled tracer in pharmacokinetic and ADME (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion) studies for drug development.
• Environmental Fate Studies: Tracks the biodegradation, bioaccumulation, and environmental distribution of hydrocarbon contaminants.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Serves as a primary standard for calibrating instruments like GC-MS and LC-MS in forensic and petrochemical analysis.
• Biochemical Research: Investigates lipid metabolism and enzyme mechanisms involving medium-chain alkanes.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Acts as a labeled building block for synthesizing more complex 14C-labeled compounds.
