Automated radiosynthesizer (ELIXYS, Sofie Biosciences, Inc.) [More information] |
CNSI 2211 | R. Michael van Dam mvandam@mednet.ucla.edu 310-206-6507 |
The ELIXYS radiosynthesizer is capable of automated synthesis of radiolabeled compounds for applications such as positron emission tomography. With three reaction vessels, the ability to withstand reaction pressures up to ~200 psi, and support for intermediate cartridge purification steps, it is capable of carrying out a wide range of complex or simple synthesis protocols. Protocols have been established for a large a growing list of compounds labeled with fluorine-18 and other isotopes. |
Cyclotron (RDS-111 Eclipse HP, Siemens) [More information] |
CNSI 2211 | R. Michael van Dam mvandam@mednet.ucla.edu 310-206-6507 |
The RDS-111 cyclotron is a self-shielded, 11 MeV negative-ion proton accelerator for production of positron-emitting isotopes such as F-18, C-11, N-13, and O-15. |
