Isotope Labelled Compound
Isotope labelled compounds are chemically identical molecules in which one or more atoms have been replaced with their stable or radioactive isotopes. These specialized compounds serve as powerful analytical tools across chemistry, biology, medicine, and environmental science. By incorporating isotopes such as deuterium (²H), carbon-13 (¹³C), nitrogen-15 (¹⁵N), or oxygen-18 (¹⁸O), researchers can precisely track molecular pathways, reaction mechanisms, and metabolic transformations without altering the compound’s natural behavior. Their distinguishable isotopic signatures make them ideal for advanced analytical techniques including NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, PET imaging, and metabolic flux analysis.
Simtope rely on isotope labelled compounds for drug development, pharmacokinetic studies, environmental tracing, and quality control. In pharmaceuticals, they enable accurate measurement of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME). With growing demand for high-purity and custom-synthesized materials, isotope labelled compounds continue to play a crucial role in modern scientific innovation and discovery.
