This requirement will include the following characteristics: This procurement is for 1KG of uniformly labeled Carbob-13 glucose (D-13C6, 99% S&P) Product Description The D-Glucose (U-13C6, 99% S&P) required is currently only provided by Cambridge Isotope Laboratories. D-Glucose (U-13C6, 99% S&P) isotopes for human use are usually available from two companies, Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, Inc. and Isotec, Inc. (part of Sigman-Aldrich).

It will be used for research related to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and depression. In conjunction with advanced magnetic resonance spectroscopy, the 13-C glucose will be used to study brain activities in study participants by measuring the cycling of glutamate neurotransmitters and mitochondrial energy production. This Notice of Intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. Parties may identify their interest, accompanied by supporting literature, to the Contracting Officer no later than 4/24/2013 @ 12:00pm. Responses should be sent to James.Corbett2@va.gov.
