Overview

Radiolabeling is a technique which incorporates a radioactive atom (or radionuclide) into a molecule. The radionuclide is then used to track the molecule or measure any chemical or biological activity of the molecule. By attaching the radionuclide to the molecule, it can be tracked and monitored - for instance during drug delivery or imaging studies. Radiolabeling has a wide range of applications, including medical diagnosis, pharmaceutical and biotechnological research, and environmental studies. It is a valuable tool for understanding and potentially treating diseases, as well as understanding the transport and fate of molecules in nature.
