Stable isotope-labeled compounds are used as environmental pollutant standards for the detection of air, water, soil, sediment and food.
In addition to treating various diseases, isotopes are used for imaging, diagnosis, and newborn screening.
Small molecule compounds labeled with stable isotopes can be used as chemical reference for chemical identification, qualitative, quantitative, detection, etc. Various types of NMR solvents can be used to study the structure, reaction mechanism and reaction kinetics of compounds.
Stable isotope labeling allows researchers to study metabolic pathways in vivo in a safe manner.
BOC Sciences is committed to providing customers with high-quality and stable isotope oxygen-18 labeled peptides, amino acids, nucleic acids, steroids, APIs, impurities, inhibitors, metabolites, carbohydrates, polymers, fatty acids and lipids, as well as other products.
Oxygen is a vital element, and it is also the most abundant element in the earth's crust. Furthermore, oxygen is an essential component of various biological cells and is used as a standard for measuring the atomic weight of other elements. The oxygen element in nature exists in the three stable isotopes form, including oxygen-16 (16O), oxygen-17 (17O), and oxygen-18 (18O). Oxygen-16 is the most common form of oxygen isotope, with a natural abundance of more than 99%, while Oxygen-17 can be used as an ion to bombard the target material. Oxygen-18 is used as a tracer atom and extensively used in modern high-tech fields (life science, medicine, pharmacy, environmental science, geology, etc.).
Oxygen-18 labeled compound refers to a non-radioactive labeled compound in which the stable isotope oxygen-18 replaces the original oxygen in the compound as a label. Various compounds containing the oxygen-18 label are widely used in chemistry, biology, medicine, environmental science, geology and other fields.
