RE: Radiolabeling

["Morgan, Ben" <ben.morgan@pgnmail.com>]

Greetings:



A reference I enjoyed reading is "Radiochemistry and Nuclear Methods of Analysis" by William D. Ehmann and Diane E Vance. [Published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. ISBN 0-471-60076-8 or 0-471-30628-2]



In Chapter 10 the book states that Georg Hevesy is credited with originating the use of radionuclides as tracers. In 1913 he was using radium-D (Pb-210) to determine the solubility of lead salts in water. He was also the first to use radionuclides to study biological processes in plants and animals. He received the Nobel Prize for this work in 1943.

Subject: Radiolabeling





I am interested in the "little history" of radiolabeling in University and bioresearch area. Anyone have interesting reference, I would like to have an idea of WHEN people have started to label with radioactive material.



Thanks in advance.
