  "term": "Specifically labelled tracer",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A tracer molecule in which a specific atom or group of atoms has been replaced by an isotope, either radioactive or stable, at a precisely defined position within the molecule. This allows for the tracking of the molecule's fate or the reaction pathway of a specific part of the molecule. For example, a carbon-14 atom at a particular position in a glucose molecule.",
