Isotopic labeling using carbon
This article is about isotopic labeling. For labeling pertaining to carbon dioxide emissions, see
carbon emission label.
Carbon label is a form of
isotopic labeling where a
carbon-12 atom is replaced with either a stable
carbon-13 atom or radioactive
carbon-11 or
carbon-14 atoms in a
chemical compound so as to 'tag' (i.e.
label) that position of the compound to assist in determining the way a
chemical reaction proceeds i.e. the
reaction mechanism.
