Radiolabeling

Radiolabeling is a technique where a radioactive isotope is attached to a molecule, such as a drug or biological substance. This allows scientists to track and study the molecule’s behavior inside the body or in a reaction by detecting the radiation it emits. It’s widely used in medical imaging, drug development, and research to understand how substances move, where they accumulate, and how they interact with tissues, providing valuable information without invasive procedures.
