Pharmaceutical
Metabolic studies have shown that deuterium containing drugs or deuterated drugs metabolize slower while generally retaining full potency and effectiveness.
Diagnostics
Hospital diagnostics labs and university laboratories all use deuterated compounds in their medical research, including cancer research.
Hydrology
Deuterium as a tracer, is applied in environmental studies, water and waste-water mapping, and more recently in the monitoring of hydraulic fracturing.
Fibre Optics
Deuterium extends the life of fibre-optic cables by reducing the chemical reaction rate which leads to deterioration of the light transmission.
Semiconductors
Deuterium significantly improves the life cycle of semiconductors and microchips by preventing deterioration of the chip circuitry from chemical erosion.
Scientific Research & Manufacturing
Many organizations use deuterated products for Chemical, physical and biological research purposes.
