D-Fructose-1-13C is a kind of D-fructose containing 13C isotope. Here are some information about its nature, use, formulation and safety:
Nature:
D-Fructose-1-13C is a white crystalline powder with the chemical formula C6H12O6. It is an organic compound that has a sweet taste similar to natural fructose.
Use:
D-Fructose-1-13C is widely used in scientific research. Because it contains the 13C isotope, it can be used as a marker substance in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies for tracking the transformation of compounds during metabolism and kinetic studies.
Method:
The method of preparing D-Fructose-1-13C is usually through biosynthesis. First, D-Fructose-1-13C can be synthesized by reacting common D-fructose with a 13C-isotope labeled substrate.
Safety Information:
D-Fructose-1-13C is a chemical and should be used and handled in accordance with appropriate safe operating procedures. It is less toxic to the human body, but prolonged contact and inhalation should still be avoided. When used in a laboratory environment, wear appropriate protective measures, such as lab gloves and goggles.
