Feeding experiments with stable isotopes are helpful tools for investigation of metabolic fluxes and biochemical pathways. For assessing nitrogen metabolism, the heavier nitrogen isotope, [15N], has been frequently used. In plants, it is usually applied in form of [15N]-nitrate, which

Stable Isotopes in Agriculture

Tracer techniques using isotopic N have been employed since the 1940s to investigate such topics as N transformations and cycling in agricultural and other soils, N sources for crop uptake, the fate and behavior of fertilizer N applied to soils, the nature and extent of soil and fertilizer losses, and fertilizer N uptake efficiency.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
