CAS 2067-80-3
:urea-15N2
Description:
Urea-15N2, with the CAS number 2067-80-3, is a nitrogen-labeled isotopic form of urea, where both nitrogen atoms are replaced with the stable isotope nitrogen-15 (15N). This compound is characterized by its molecular formula, which remains the same as that of regular urea (NH2)2CO, but with the distinct isotopic composition. Urea-15N2 is commonly used in various scientific applications, particularly in biochemical and ecological studies, to trace nitrogen metabolism and cycling in organisms and ecosystems. The incorporation of 15N allows researchers to track the movement and transformation of nitrogen in biological systems, providing insights into nutrient dynamics. Urea itself is a colorless, odorless solid at room temperature, highly soluble in water, and serves as a nitrogen source in fertilizers and as a feedstock in the synthesis of various chemicals. The use of isotopically labeled compounds like urea-15N2 is crucial in studies involving metabolic pathways, environmental monitoring, and agricultural research, enhancing our understanding of nitrogen's role in biological processes.
