Ethane-13C2
Ethane-13C2 (CAS: 52026-74-1), with the molecular formula <sup>13</sup>CH3<sup>13</sup>CH3, is a doubly 13C-labelled ethane gas. This stable isotope offers a distinct mass shift (M+2) and high isotopic purity (99 atom % <sup>13</sup>C). It serves as a valuable standard and tracer in various analytical and research applications, particularly in fields requiring precise isotopic analysis and mechanistic studies.
Isotope Labeling Studies
Utilised as a tracer in metabolic studies and reaction mechanism investigations where tracking the specific pathways of carbon atoms is crucial. Its enrichment allows for clear detection against natural abundance carbon.
Analytical Standards
Serves as an internal standard in mass spectrometry and gas chromatography for quantifying other ethane-related compounds or for calibration purposes. The isotopic enrichment provides a distinct signal.
Chemical Synthesis
Employed in synthetic chemistry as a labelled building block or precursor where the incorporation of 13C-labelled ethane is required for downstream products.
