Citalopram, [N-Methyl-³H]-, 50µCi (1.85MBq)

50 µCi quantity of Citalopram, [N-Methyl-³H]-, is available for your research. Citalopram (Celexa, Cipramil) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that blocks the serotonin transporter (SERT, 5-HTT). Citalopram is used to treat panic disorder as well as obsessive-compulsive disorder.

We offer both agonist and antagonist radioligands for autoradiographic visualization or performing saturation and competition assays to determine receptor expression levels (B_max), dissociation constants (K_d), association and dissociation rates (k_on and k_off), and inhibitor constants (K_i) for a variety of receptors. We develop our radioligands to the highest specific activity possible and provide high purity resulting in low non-specific binding products. Each of our ultra-pure radioligands is fully characterized for pharmacological action and validated in receptor binding assays.

Radiolabeled ligands remain the most sensitive method for probing receptor binding biology; yielding unprecedented sensitivity gives results that technicians and scientists can trust. For over 50 years, Revvity has been a leading supplier of New England Nuclear (NEN) radiochemicals, liquid scintillation cocktails, vials and nuclear counting detection instruments.
