Sodium Deuteroxide (NaOD) Supplier
Sodium deuteroxide is the deuterated analogue of sodium hydroxide — NaOD (also written sodium hydroxide-d) — and the workhorse deuterated base of the D2O laboratory. It is most commonly supplied as a 40 wt% solution in D2O for NMR buffer preparation and H/D exchange without introducing exchangeable protons.
BSI produces sodium deuteroxide to order in the United States at customer-specified concentration and isotopic purity, characterized through our Texas Tech University and CEES relationships. As a Class 8 solution it ships far more easily than reactive metal deuterides. Orders are quote-based and shipped within the United States only.
Applications
What Sodium Deuteroxide Is Used For

H/D Exchange
A strong deuterated base for base-catalyzed hydrogen/deuterium exchange reactions in D2O media.
Isotope Labeling
A sodium-cation deuteroxide source for site-selective deuterium labeling and exchange workflows.
Pharma Intermediates
Supports deuterated pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis and exchange chemistry in drug-development workflows.
Questions
Sodium Deuteroxide FAQ
What is sodium deuteroxide used for?
NaOD is the workhorse deuterated base for preparing D2O NMR buffers and adjusting pD, for base-catalyzed H/D exchange, isotope labeling, and deuterated pharmaceutical intermediates. It is commonly supplied as a 40 wt% solution in D2O.
What concentration is sodium deuteroxide supplied at?
NaOD is most commonly supplied as a 40 wt% solution in D2O, with other concentrations available on request. Exact concentration and isotopic purity are confirmed per quote.
Is sodium deuteroxide the same as sodium hydroxide-d?
Yes. NaOD is the fully deuterium-substituted form of sodium hydroxide, sometimes written sodium hydroxide-d or NaOH-d.
Does BSI ship sodium deuteroxide internationally?
No. BSI sells to US destinations only. Every order requires a US ship-to address and a lawful US end-use confirmation.
