Chemical Properties
Colourless Liquid
Uses
Water-
18O is an isotopically modified water, which is appropriate for PET applications.
It can also be used:
- In paleoclimatology, hydrology, and plant ecology to determine soil stable oxygen isotope analysis of plant cellulose using δ18O.
- To determine the diffusion of moisture into crystals using secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS).
Uses
Water-18O, 97 atom % 18O is used in DNA stable isotope probing (SIP) to investigate microbial growth and death in environmental samples.
Definition
ChEBI: A form of water consisting of two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to an oxygen-18 atom.
