R&D Projects & Partners
Since the start of IsoLife, we have continuously been investing in the development of new applications with uniformly (>97 atom%), intrinsically labelled whole plants or plant components, in co-operation with many enthusiastic partners – often united in consortia such as BASIS and JESIUM – resulting in the following projects.
Background information about techniques and isotope facilities can be found under Useful links.
