Note: Radioactive tracers are used, for example, to measure
the retention or distribution of residues of drugs
after administration to an animal, to determine the
type and rate of metabolism; also, to measure the rate
of motion of molecules in electrophoresis or the
leakage of small quantities of material from a
container. Small fluorescent tracers may be attached in
many cases to macromolecules such as proteins or
nucleic acids, allowing the motions of such
macromolecules to be easily observed by their acquired
fluorescence, without appreciably changing their
properties. In biological and biochemial systems the
common radioactive isotopes used in tracers are
carbon-14, tritium (hydrogen-3), sulfur-35,
phosphorus-32, and iodine-131; other isotopes are also
used, including non-radioactive isotopes such as
carbon-13.
