Glyphosate-13C2,15N (CAS 1185107-63-4)

Glyphosate-13C2,15N is a stable isotope-labeled analog of glyphosate, a broad-spectrum systemic herbicide. In research, this compound is particularly valuable for tracing and quantifying glyphosate in environmental samples using isotopic dilution mass spectrometry techniques. By incorporating isotopes of carbon (13C) and nitrogen (15N), Glyphosate-13C2,15N provides an internal standard that can be distinguished from the non-labeled glyphosate, improving the reliability and accuracy of analytical measurements. Studies involving Glyphosate-13C2,15N often focus on understanding the environmental fate of glyphosate, including its degradation, transport, and persistence in soil and water ecosystems. Additionally, it is used to investigate the mechanisms of herbicidal action of glyphosate and to assess the impact of glyphosate usage on non-target organisms. This research is critical for evaluating the environmental consequences of glyphosate application and for developing strategies to mitigate potential risks.
