Description

Rac-Glycerol-1-13C CAS NO 98292-00-3 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of glycerol, where the carbon atom at the 1-position is enriched with the non-radioactive carbon-13 isotope. This compound is a critical tool for advanced research and analytical applications, enabling precise metabolic pathway tracing and quantitative analysis using techniques like Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and Mass Spectrometry (MS). It is essential for scientists and manufacturers in the fields of pharmaceutical research, metabolic studies, biochemistry, and the development of labeled diagnostic agents.

Application

• Metabolic Flux Analysis (MFA): Used as a tracer to study and quantify intracellular metabolic pathways in biological systems.
• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Serves as a labeled precursor in the synthesis of 13C-labeled drugs for pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies.
• Biochemical Research: A key substrate for investigating lipid metabolism, glycolysis, and gluconeogenesis in cell cultures and animal models.
• NMR Spectroscopy: Provides an internal standard or a probe for structural and dynamic studies of biomolecules and complex mixtures.
• Mass Spectrometry (MS): Enhances the accuracy of quantitative proteomics and metabolomics by serving as a stable isotope-labeled internal standard.
• Diagnostic Agent Development: Employed in the creation of contrast agents or biomarkers for advanced medical imaging techniques.
