so from my preliminary deep dive it looks like “glycerol-6” is probably a made up isotope (aka variant) of the molecule, BUT!!! glycerol is widely used in the medical and food industry. direct injection of it decreases fertility. it can be used to create explosives. it’s widely used in personal lubricants. and it can very specifically be used as a cryoprotectant to reduce damage to organisms stored below freezing temperatures

god i love this book series
