Isotopic labeling. Isotopic labeling (or isotopic labelling) is a technique used to track the passage of an isotope (an atom with a detectable variation in neutron count) through chemical reaction, metabolic pathway, or a biological cell. [1] The reactant is 'labeled' by replacing one or more specific atoms with their isotopes.
Iodine-129. Iodine-129 ( 129 I) is a long-lived radioisotope of iodine that occurs naturally but is also of special interest in the monitoring and effects of man-made nuclear fission products, where it serves as both a tracer and a potential radiological contaminant.

Cardiac monitoring generally refers to continuous or intermittent monitoring of heart activity to assess a patient's condition relative to their cardiac rhythm. Cardiac monitoring is usually carried out using electrocardiography , which is a noninvasive process that records the heart's electrical activity and displays it in an electrocardiogram ...
Selected reaction monitoring ( SRM ), also called multiple reaction monitoring ( MRM ), is a method used in tandem mass spectrometry in which an ion of a particular mass is selected in the first stage of a tandem mass spectrometer and an ion product of a fragmentation reaction of the precursor ions is selected in the second mass spectrometer ...
