Radiotracers | Vibepedia

Radiotracers are synthetic derivatives of natural compounds that contain radionuclides, allowing scientists to trace the path of chemical reactions and biological processes. By leveraging the radioactive decay of these isotopes, researchers can gain valuable insights into the mechanisms of biochemical reactions, track the distribution of substances within cells and tissues, and monitor fluid flow. With applications in fields such as medicine, environmental science, and materials science, radiotracers have various uses. The use of radiotracers has been extensively documented in academic publications.
