Sodium Acetate (2-13C, 99%) can be used can be used for in vivo quantification of neuro-glial metabolism.
13C labeling in the methyl group has a significant effect on the Dynamic Nuclear Polarization of acetate. Sodium acetate-2-13C labeling can be used in structural studies analyzing the interactions between lipo oligosaccharide and host proteins. Incorporation of Sodium acetate-2-13C shows enriched 13C-NMR spectra indicating their biosynthesis of microbial products and novel polyketides. Hyperpolarized 13C-acetate MRI has been applied to examinations of both rodents and porcine models.
Sodium acetate-2-13C is 13C isotopomer labeled precursor of sodium acetate.
