Product Information

• Name: D-[1-13C]Xylose
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: D-[1-13C]Xylose is a carbon source that is used to study the metabolism of glycolytic carbon in cells. It has been labeled with 13C and can be used as a tracer for the study of the distribution of metabolites, including glucuronic acid, mannose, and xylose. This can be done by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy or by using a magnetic resonance spectroscopy technique. The use of D-[1-13C]xylose has been shown to be an effective way to label cryptococcus neoformans cells in order to understand their metabolism.
