Heavy-oxygen water Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Colourless Liquid

Uses

Water-18O, 97 atom % 18O is used in DNA stable isotope probing (SIP) to investigate microbial growth and death in environmental samples.

Uses

Water-¹⁸O is an isotopically modified water, which is appropriate for PET applications.
It can also be used:

• In paleoclimatology, hydrology, and plant ecology to determine soil stable oxygen isotope analysis of plant cellulose using δ¹⁸O.
• To determine the diffusion of moisture into crystals using secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS).

Definition

ChEBI: A form of water consisting of two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to an oxygen-18 atom.
