Water-17O is a 17O labeled water, intended for research use only as a tracer and internal standard. It supports quantitative analysis by techniques such as NMR, GC-MS, or LC-MS. This stable heavy isotope can be incorporated into drug molecules for quantitation during drug development, similar to how deuteration can affect pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs.
- Used as a tracer
- Functions as an internal standard for quantitative analysis by NMR, GC-MS, or LC-MS
- Appears as a colorless to light yellow liquid
- Density: 1.044 g/cm³
- Storage for pure form: -20°C for 3 years, 4°C for 2 years
- Storage in solvent: -80°C for 6 months, -20°C for 1 month
