Tritium (3H) Labeling Services
Our Tritium Labeling Service is a cost-effective way to prepare a 3H-labeled radiochemical. The process includes:
- Reaction of the precursor you submit, according to the labeling method you select.
- Removal of the catalyst and label tritium from the resulting crude product.
- Assay of the resulting crude product for total radioactivity.
Any additional procedures are executed upon written agreement prior to performance of the service.
When you discuss the requirements of your particular application with PerkinElmer scientists, they will discuss the available tritium labeling methods with you, recommend the best approach and describe the benefits and limitationsof each method.*
* Please note: All tritiation methods expose the material to a radioactive field that causes decomposition of all materials present in the mixture. The nature and amount of decomposition depends on various factors, including the nature and amount of starting material, the amount of tritium employed, and the length of exposure to radiation. Other factors affecting decomposition are still undefined. Due to the great variety of materials handled, PerkinElmer cannot give a generalized statement about the nature or quantity of impuritiesto be expected.
