SPECIFICATIONS:

6-13C-Ketamine 500 mg

NIMH MIB requires labelled 6-13C Ketamine Hydrochloride in order to perform in vivo NMR experiments on rodents.

NIMH’s MR Spectroscopy Unit and Core have been conducting several in vivo carbon-13 (13C) spectroscopy projects with infusion of 13C labeled chemicals. Because natural abundance of 13C is only 1%, the 13C signal is too weak to be detected. Therefore, chemicals with enriched 13C are needed to increase 13C signal intensity.

With these 13C labelled chemicals, NIMH will be able to detect brain metabolism and to accurately measure the concentrations of several important metabolites. Without this chemical, the institute will lose a powerful method in neural science research.
