Applications of Stable Isotopes in Biochemistry

  • Chapter
  • 132 Accesses

The use of stable isotopes, on the other hand, has developed more slowly, perhaps because analysis of materials labeled with stable isotopes is generally more difficult than analysis of materials labeled with radioactive isotopes.
