Compartmental analysis has for many decades been used for the evaluation of results of mainly
in vivo radiotracer experiments. However, its potential for working out similar experiments,
but in non-living systems, has as yet been rather overlooked. This paper aims at reversing this
situation. To this end some basic principles of compartmental analysis are given followed by examples
of its use in chemistry related laboratory radiotracer studies.
