Understanding Carbon-13 Isotope in Three Minutes

Understanding Carbon-13 Isotope in Three Minutes

Carbon is the core element that constitutes life and organic matter. Its isotopic composition, especially the ratio of stable isotopes C¹² and C¹³, contains rich information about physical, chemical, and biological processes. Unlike radioactive isotopes C¹⁴, C¹³ poses no radiation hazard, allowing for safe use in in vivo studies and long-term experiments. Below is a … Read more
