Isotopic labeling using carbon

Carbon label is a form of isotopic labeling where a carbon-12 atom is replaced with either a stable carbon-13 atom or radioactive carbon-11 or carbon-14 atoms in a chemical compound so as to 'tag' (i.e. label) that position of the compound to assist in determining the way a chemical reaction proceeds i.e. the reaction mechanism.[1]

This article is about isotopic labeling. For labeling pertaining to carbon dioxide emissions, see carbon emission label.
