Ken,

You have several choices besides isotech
1. Aldrich 32,987-8 water-18^O, normlzed, 95%, 250mg $154.60

2. Oak Ridge National Laboratory
O-18 $160.00 per gram of Oxygen, As Water, 80% - 85% Oxygen-18
http://www.ornl.gov/isotopes/
with this source you will need to do some purification

3. Fluka 1g, $425

With all sources, there will be some/many weeks of delay.

Good luck,
Paul
