Publisher's Synopsis
Presenting the most recent advances in the synthesis, production and applications of stable and radioactive isotopes, this volume focuses on significant growth areas. It covers the applications of organic compounds labelled with isotopes of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, fluorine and other elements; the current status and future projections for the production of stable and radioactive isotopes; the use of isotopes in agriculture, nutrition and environmental studies; applications of isotopically labelled compounds in pharmaceutical research and development; the use of isotopes in protein, nucleic acid and monoclonal antibody research; and applications of labelled compounds in drug metabolism and toxicology.
