E 296-13C4 - Introduction
DL-Malic Acid-13C4 is a 13C isotopically labeled DL-malic acid. It has the same chemical properties as non-labeled DL-malic acid, except that the carbon atom in its molecule contains the 13C isotope.
DL-Malic Acid-13C4 is a white crystalline powder, soluble in water and alcohol solvents. It is an acidic substance with a sour taste. DL-Malic Acid-13C4 is an unstable compound that may decompose in high temperature and high humidity environments.
DL-Malic Acid-13C4 are widely used in isotope tracing experiments and research. Because it contains the 13C isotope, it can track the metabolic process of the compound in the organism, thereby providing information about metabolic pathways and reactions. In addition, DL-Malic Acid-13C4 can also be used to explore the mechanism of chemical reactions and to study the properties of specific compounds.
The preparation method of DL-Malic Acid-13C4 can be realized by chemical synthesis or fermentation. Chemical synthesis usually uses ethylene as a raw material, through a multi-step reaction to generate DL-Malic Acid, and then further through the isotope exchange reaction to introduce 13C isotope. The fermentation method generally uses a fermentation strain to synthesize 13C-containing DL-malic acid by introducing a 13C-labeled substrate into the fermentation system.
When using DL-Malic Acid-13C4, it is necessary to pay attention to its strong acidity and instability. Avoid prolonged exposure to high temperature and humidity to prevent its decomposition. In addition, avoid contact with the skin and inhalation of its dust in accordance with the general safety guidelines for chemicals. The appropriate safe handling and storage instructions should be carefully read and followed before any chemical is used.
