Radiochemistry and cyclotron
Services
The Radiochemistry and Cyclotron core facility produces β+ emitting radiotracers for PET imaging using the following isotopes: 13N, 18F, 11C.
The following molecules are produced in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practice standards:
| 18F | 13N | 11C |
| DCFPyL |
Ammonia |
N-methyl-hydroxy-fasudil |
| Fluorocholine | ||
| FTPP | ||
| Fluoropyridine losartan | ||
| FTHA |
We have the necessary expertise, equipment and a qualified research and development team for the production of new PET radiotracers.
The laboratory also offers a wide range of quality control tests, including endotoxin detection, quantification of residual organic solvents by gas chromatography (GC), and chemical purity assessment of samples by liquid chromatography (HPLC).
