(E,E)-Farnesol-13C3

(E,E)-Farnesol-13C3 is a stable isotope labeled compound that is commonly used in research and academic settings as a tracer or standard in various analytical techniques. It is a derivative of farnesol, a naturally occurring sesquiterpene alcohol that is found in many essential oils, such as citronella, neroli, and lemon grass. (E,E)-Farnesol-13C3 is synthesized through a multi-step process using labeled carbon-13 sources. The compound is typically supplied as a clear liquid or a white powder, and has a molecular weight of 274.43 g/mol. The labeled carbon-13 atoms in (E,E)-Farnesol-13C3 enable researchers to track the compound's fate in biological and environmental systems, and to distinguish it from other farnesol derivatives. It can be used in a variety of applications, such as metabolic labeling, proteomics, and lipidomics studies. It can also be used as an internal standard in mass spectrometry or nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to improve the accuracy and precision of quantitative analysis. Despite its stable isotope labeling, (E,E)-Farnesol-13C3 should still be handled with care and stored properly to avoid degradation or contamination. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for handling and disposal of the compound.
