"tracer compound" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It is usually used in the context of scientific research, such as chemistry or biology. For example, "Our team experimented with tracer compounds to track the diffusion of the gas."
The mean residence time in the SBBR was determined experimentally by tracking the concentration of a tracer compound in a continuous effluent stream.
The radioactive tracer compound is prepared by covalent linkage between the radionuclide and nanomaterials, and stability is the prerequisite to study the behavior of the nanomaterials in vivo[6, 16 18].
The 68Ga-DOTATOC uptake in intra-therapeutic PET imaging directly after 177Lu-octreotate administration, i.e., 30 min after the beginning of the radiopeptide infusion, is mediated by the 'unsaturated' membranous sst2 binding the PET tracer compound; the extent of its uptake is probably not influenced by (if at all present) recently recycled receptors after 177Lu-octreotate infusion.
We first synthesized a suitable tracer compound and used this tracer to set up a FP-based ERα binding assay in FP microplate reader format.
The tracer compound can interact with the unbound receptor in a second reaction coil and detection takes place after the second reaction coil using FP detection.
The KD values found were of the same order as observed by Ohno et al. [ 19] and Parker et al. [ 7] for an analogous FP tracer compound.
That could greatly expand the number of tracer compounds used in research, he says, which in turn may lead to benefits in treating a wide variety of diseases.
Kafala is now working on the tracking of biochemical and physiological processes in patients using a nuclear imaging diagnostic tool, positron emission tomography (PET), to detect tracer compounds that have been injected intravenously.
The possibility of using some of the produced organics as tracer compounds during the Huygens descend to identify the leading energy form in the different atmospheric levels remains open.
These preliminary human studies are consistent with recently promulgated 'micro-dosing' principles for tracer compounds [ 4].
Center research also included identification of tracer compounds for use in identifying sources of ambient particles (Fine et al. 2004).
