Glycerol-2-13C, with the CAS number 82425-96-5, is a stable isotope-labeled form of glycerol, where the carbon atom at the second position of the glycerol molecule is replaced with the carbon-13 isotope. Glycerol itself is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid that is hygroscopic and sweet-tasting. It is a triol, meaning it contains three hydroxyl (-OH) groups, which contribute to its solubility in water and its ability to form hydrogen bonds. The incorporation of the carbon-13 isotope allows for enhanced tracking and analysis in various biochemical and metabolic studies, particularly in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Glycerol-2-13C is used in research to study metabolic pathways, lipid metabolism, and the dynamics of glycerol utilization in biological systems. Its physical and chemical properties are similar to those of natural glycerol, making it a valuable tool in both analytical and synthetic chemistry.

Glycerol-2-13C

<p>Applications Isotope Labelled analogue of Glycerol (G598400), a compound used both in sample preparation and gel formation for polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Glycerol (5-10%) increases the density of a sample so that the sample will layer at the bottom of a gel’s sample well. Glycerol is also used to aid in casting gradient gels and as a protein stabilizer and storage buffer component.<br>References Bartsch, W., et al.: Arzeim.-Forsch., 26, 1581 (1976),<br></p>
