Revvity Sodium Bicarbonate, , Specific Activity: 40-60mCi (1.48-2.22GBq)/mmol, 5mCi (185MBq)

1 mCi quantities of [¹⁴C]-Sodium Bicarbonate are available for your research. Application of [¹⁴C]Bicarbonate can be found in: tissue sequestration of C-labelled bicarbonate [HCO3-] in fed and fasted young sheep, hypoglycemic agent suppressing hepatic glucose output via gluconeogenesis by reducing glucose-6-phosphatase activity in obese rats, effects of chronic metabolic acidosis on splanchnic protein turnover and oxygen consumption in human beings, production and cycling of natural microbial exopolymers (EPS) within a marine stromatolite, impacts of diesel fuel exposure on the microphytobenthic community of an intertidal sand flat, etc.

IMPORTANT:

HOW TO USE: Since the sodium bicarbonate, [¹⁴C]- solutions are thermally sensitive, the following procedure for using the product is recommended:Shake ampoule just prior to opening. Gently tap ampoule to remove any solution remaining in the head. Open ampoule while still cold. Failure to Follow the Above Directions May Result in the Incomplete Recovery of Sodium Bicarbonate, [¹⁴C]-.

NOTE: Ensure dilution solvent is basic. Product is packaged in water, pH 9.5. Aliquoting the solution into an acidic solvent will result in significant radioactivity loss as gaseous carbon dioxide [¹⁴C]-.
