08. Radioisotope laboratory The Radioisotope Laboratory is classified as a category 2 radioactive facility for research and educational purposes. It is currently authorised to work with the main radioactive isotopes used in research, specifically 3H, 14C, 32P, 35S, 45Ca and 125I. The main purpose of the laboratory is to provide a series of highly specific facilities, equipment and services fully adapted to researchers' needs and maintained in optimum conditions, always in line with applicable legislation to ensure that all personnel is fully protected and ensuring the physical safety of the materials used and the environment.

APPLICATIONS
The use of radioisotopes in the fields of research and education is based mainly on their use as isotopic tracers covering a wide range of disciplines and applications, including: Tests by means of molecular markers in applications in the fields
of biology biochemistry pharmacology, biotechnology bromatology medicine, etc.
Environmental studies: identifying and characterising waters, climatology, radiation contamination studies, etc.
Dating samples. Process control
INTERESTED SECTORS
Basic and applied research centres, pharmaceutical industry, chemistry, food industry, environmental consultants, etc.
