IsoSciences, LLC, King of Prussia, PA., is pleased to announce the development and release of Vitamin B12-[13C7]. This novel product marks the first time that an isotopically labeled version of Vitamin B12 is commercially available. The product (Catalog # S14112) is available as an exact concentration solution. As more bioanalytical tests move from immunoassay to LC/MS/MS, the availability of Vitamin B12-[13C7] allows for increased confidence in the results. IsoSciences is able to ensure that this internal standard will co-elute with the analyte by utilizing the 13C isotope.
“There has been significant demand from the industry to offer an isotopically labeled Vitamin B12; however, due to the structural complexity of the vitamin, this product has never been commercially available. IsoSciences was committed to dedicating the resources required for the R&D synthesis in order to be the first to launch this isotope labeled product. We are very proud to continue to offer cutting edge internal standards and allow our customers to continue to develop new LC/MS/MS methods,” stated Scott Landvatter, President of IsoSciences.
“We strive to succeed in our scientific research and development for specialty products that meet an unmet market need in our industry,” said Carrington Smith, CEO of MPD Chemicals. “MPD Chemicals, across each of our business units, has demonstrated success with over 4,000 catalog product offerings and numerous proprietary custom products in the various markets we serve.
Vitamin B12 (CAS 68-19-9), also known as cobalamin, is a vitamin that helps regulate many areas of the body such as the brain and nervous system. Additionally, Vitamin B12 helps produce blood and regulate DNA. Deficiencies in Vitamin B12, can lead to improper functions and more serious problems, damaging the nerves and brain. Symptoms of Vitamin B12 deficiency can include fatigue, loss of appetite, confusion, depression, numbness, and tingling in hands and feet. Megaloblastic anemia, a reduction of oxygen carried to the body's tissues because of larger and fewer immature red blood cells, can also be caused by a lack of Vitamin B12.
