Product Description
ACETIC ACID-2-13C is a variant of acetic acid where one of the hydrogen atoms attached to the second carbon atom is replaced with a carbon-13 isotope. This modification makes it distinguishable from naturally occurring acetic acid, facilitating its detection and measurement in various analytical techniques. Such isotopically labeled compounds are invaluable in research settings, enabling scientists to study the metabolism of acetic acid and its role in biochemical reactions with greater precision.
Application
The main application of ACETIC ACID-2-13C is in research and academic environments, particularly in biochemistry and nutritional sciences. It is used to investigate the metabolic pathways of acetic acid, including its conversion into other biomolecules, and to assess its contribution to energy production and lipid synthesis. Additionally, it can serve as a tool in the pharmaceutical industry for the development of drugs targeting metabolic processes.
