Product Name: Deuterium Oxide (Heavy Water)
CAS No.: 7789-20-0
Molecular Formula: D₂O
Molecular Weight: 20.03 g/mol
Overview:
Deuterium Oxide, commonly known as heavy water, is the compound formed by deuterium (D), a heavy isotope of hydrogen, and oxygen. It is not only a vital material in the nuclear industry but also an irreplaceable tool in scientific research and analysis due to its unique isotopic effects. Compared to hydrogen (H), the deuterium atom (D) has a lower zero-point energy and different vibrational frequencies, making it crucial in nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, reaction mechanism studies, life sciences, and new material development. It is a fundamental, high-end reagent for modern cutting-edge technologies.
Key Advantages:
High Isotopic Enrichment & Purity: We provide high-purity heavy water with an isotopic enrichment of ≥99.9 atom % D through advanced multi-stage distillation and catalytic exchange processes. Strict control over other isotopic impurities (HDO, H₂O) and ionic content ensures reliable performance in even the most sensitive analytical and synthetic applications.
Strategic Value as a Stable Isotope: As the foundational material for stable deuterated reagents, heavy water is the core precursor for synthesizing various deuterated solvents and compounds. Its high isotopic purity is essential for guaranteeing the quality of downstream deuterated products and the signal strength in NMR spectroscopy.
Stable Supply & Reliable Quality: With dedicated isotope separation and purification facilities, we ensure stable production from kilogram to ton scale with rigorous quality control, providing a secure long-term supply chain.
Cost & Service Advantage: Leveraging leading domestic isotope separation technology, we offer high-enrichment heavy water at more competitive prices than imported alternatives, backed by professional application consultation and technical support.
Specifications (Customizable to different enrichments and grades):
Deuterium Enrichment (D, atom %): ≥99.9% (Standard); Other grades like 99.8%, 99.5% available upon request.
Appearance: Colorless, clear liquid, visually identical to water.
Conductivity: ≤2 μS/cm (25°C), suitable for high-end analytical applications.
NMR Residual Proton Signal (¹H NMR, D₂O lock): Narrow HDO signal half-width and flat baseline, suitable for high-resolution NMR experiments.
Primary Applications:
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy: As the most common deuterated solvent and lock signal source, used for dissolving samples and providing a stable field/frequency lock. It is fundamental for ¹H, ¹³C NMR experiments such as biomolecular structure elucidation and reaction monitoring.
Reaction Mechanism Studies & Isotopic Labeling: Tracking reaction pathways via H/D exchange reactions; or serving as a deuterium source for synthesizing target molecules with deuterium labels, used in pharmacokinetic studies, metabolic pathway tracing, etc.
Life Sciences & Biotechnology: Studying the role of water in biological systems, protein folding kinetics, cell culture metabolism research, and preparation of stable isotope-labeled growth media.
Nuclear Industry & Physicochemical Research: As a neutron moderator and coolant in nuclear reactors; also used in fundamental physicochemical studies on isotope effects, solvent effects, and intermolecular interactions.
Packaging & Storage:
Packaging: Available in sealed ampoules or screw-cap glass bottles with PTFE/silicone liners in sizes such as 1kg, 10kg, 25kg, 50kg, 100kg, 500kg, etc., to minimize isotopic exchange with atmospheric moisture. Custom packaging is available.
Storage: This product is hygroscopic. Exposure to atmospheric moisture will lower its deuterium enrichment through isotopic exchange. It must be stored tightly sealed in a cool, dry place. For long-term storage, keeping it in a desiccator is recommended. It is advisable to use the entire contents of an opened container in a single operation.
We welcome inquiries and collaboration from researchers, scientists, and industrial partners in NMR spectroscopy, pharmaceutical R&D, life sciences, nuclear technology, and frontier scientific research!
