Determination of doubly labeled water by gas-phase fourier transform infrared spectroscopy

Both 2H (deuterium) and 18O (oxygen 18) in isotopically enriched water have been detected by gas-phase Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy at 2,720 and 3,661.8 cm −1, respectively. A linear relationship between varying concentrations of each of these isotopes and their absorbance at the a...

Description
Summary:Both 2H (deuterium) and 18O (oxygen 18) in isotopically enriched water have been detected by gas-phase Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy at 2,720 and 3,661.8 cm −1, respectively. A linear relationship between varying concentrations of each of these isotopes and their absorbance at the above frequencies indicates that gas-phase FTIR may provide a rapid and potentially less expensive approach to measure doubly labeled water in biological fluids for the estimation of energy expenditure and total body water.
