"IsoLife solves your problems with tracers and internal standards"

Tracers

Applying a 13C-tracer is like ringing birds to keep trace of your plant components of interest.

Stable isotopes like 13C and 15N are safe and consumer-friendly as they are non-radioactive. Our labelled products - enriched from 1.1% to 99% - enable scientists in medical, nutritional, biochemical and environmental sciences to track and trace transport and transformations in living organisms (humans and animals) and in the environment. For instance, our products are often used in nutritional research to support health claims (Applications | Example Nutrition). 

Internal Standards

Applying a 13C-internal standard is like adding an error-correcting yardstick to your samples.

You can accurately quantify your analytes, independent of time, place, sample composition, processing method, operator or apparatus used. Stable isotope-labelled phytochemicals or plant extracts are used as Internal Standards for quantification, but also for identification, and quality control of metabolites in natural, unlabelled samples by LC-MS or GC-MS techniques in metabolomics (Applications | Example Metabolomics).
