IsoLife – Stable Isotope Labelled Plant Products for the Life Sciences

Labelling Services

IsoLife offers custom labelling services. Depending on your specific demands, two options are available to label your own plants:

1) We label your plants with 13CO2 in our facilities

2) We pulse-label your plants with 13CO2 in situ in your greenhouse or in your field

Labelling your plants in our facility
espas

IsoLife provides customized, intrinsic 13CO2-labelling of your plants in our fully computer controlled closed-system climate chambers (‘Espas’) with additional isotopes and enrichments of your choice.

Labelling is performed under your preferred conditions, and on demand preceded by acclimation / incubation period.

Sampling & storage support (e.g. liquid nitrogen, dry ice, -80°C freezer) can be given. For your reports, IsoLife delivers data obtained by our labelling- and climate monitoring computer system.
