of our Amino Acids

Spectra Stable Isotopes, a division of Spectra Gases, was formed by the acquisition of the Martek Stable Isotope Group by Spectra Gases, Inc.

Stable isotope biochemicals are materials such as amino acids, carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids in which the naturally abundant isotopes of hydrogen, carbon and nitrogen (¹H, ¹²C and 14N) are replaced with stable isotopes of these elements (²H [deuterium], ¹³C and ¹⁵N, respectively). They are used for two principal purposes:

Incorporation of stable isotopes into proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids facilitates their structural determination at the atomic level.
Metabolic studies exploiting the increased mass of compounds labeled with stable isotopes

We are excited about providing the highest enriched O-18 water – See our PET and Molecular Imaging Products
