What is Carbon-13C Dioxide (13CO2 ) ?
Carbon-13C Dioxide (13CO2) is a molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2) where the carbon atom is the carbon-13 isotope (13C) instead of the more common carbon-12 (12C). This isotopic variation has specific applications, particularly in research and diagnostic testing.

What are applications of Carbon-13C Dioxide (13CO2 ) ?
Carbon-13C dioxide (13CO2) is a stable isotope of carbon dioxide, meaning it has a different number of neutrons than the more common ¹²CO₂. Its primary use is as a tracer in metabolic studies to track the movement and fate of carbon within living organisms. It’s also used in medical diagnostics and research, particularly in breath tests and to study metabolic pathways.
- ¹³CO₂ is used to label substrates (like sugars or fats) that are then introduced into cells or organisms.
- By monitoring how ¹³C is incorporated into different molecules (like proteins, fats, and sugars), researchers can understand metabolic pathways.
- This helps in studying photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and drug metabolism.
- For example, it can be used to track how plants convert carbon dioxide into organic matter during photosynthesis or how organisms break down molecules for energy.
- The ¹³C urea breath test is a non-invasive method for detecting Helicobacter pylori infection, a bacterium linked to stomach ulcers and other gastrointestinal issues.
- In this test, a patient ingests urea labeled with ¹³C. If H. pylori is present, it breaks down the urea, releasing ¹³CO₂ that is exhaled and can be detected in the breath.
- ¹³C is also used in quantitative proteomics to measure the amount of specific proteins in cells or tissues.
- ¹³CO₂ can be used to study the terrestrial biosphere’s response to changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.
- It helps researchers understand where carbon dioxide is being absorbed and how the biosphere is responding to increased carbon dioxide concentrations.
- ¹³C-labeled compounds are used in various research applications, including the study of enzyme kinetics and metabolic flux analysis.
