N-Acetyl Glyphosate-13C2,15N (CAS 1346598-31-9)

N-Acetyl Glyphosate-13C2,15N is a stable isotope-labeled analog of the widely studied compound glyphosate. In research applications, this compound is primarily used as a tracer or internal standard for the analysis and detection of glyphosate residues in various matrices by employing mass spectrometric techniques. The incorporation of 13C and 15N isotopes into the glyphosate molecule allows for differentiation from non-labeled glyphosate due to the unique mass signatures provided by these isotopes. N-Acetyl Glyphosate-13C2,15N is particularly valuable in environmental studies, where it aids in understanding the transport, degradation, and persistence of glyphosate in ecosystems. Additionally, it is used in metabolic studies to investigate the compound′s uptake and biotransformation in plants and microorganisms. The specificity and increased accuracy provided by the stable isotope labeling are essential for researchers analyzing the environmental impact and behavior of glyphosate.
