ICAT uses a new chemical reagent called isotope affinity labeling reagent to pre-selectively label a certain class of proteins. Then the labeled protein was separated and purified, and then identified by mass spectrometry (MS), and the relative abundance of its parent protein in the original cell was quantitatively analyzed according to the ratio of ionic strength of different peptide segments on the mass spectrometry.

DNA-stable isotope probing technology (DNA-SIP) is a molecular ecology technology that uses stable isotopes to trace the genomic DNA of microorganisms in complex environments. DNA-SIP technology mainly targets microbial communities and reveals microbial actors involved in the metabolic process of labeled substrates in complex environments.

Isotope dilution mass spectrometry is a method in which stable isotope-labeled compounds of known mass and abundance are added to a sample as a diluent, mixed homogeneously, and then the change in isotope abundance before and after mixing is determined by mass spectrometry, and finally the elemental content of the sample can be calculated.
