Hot cell system for solid target manipulation in radiopharma
Optimize radiopharmaceutical synthesis with precise manipulation and seamless integration, ensuring reliable handling and packaging of Tl-201 and Ga-67.

Manipulates and Synthesizes Radiopharmaceuticals
The SPECT Production Hot Cell from Comecer is a comprehensive solution for the manipulation and synthesis of radiopharmaceuticals, such as Tl-201 and Ga-67. Comprising seven interconnected hot cells, this system integrates master-slave manipulators and automatic dispensing with shielded transport pots. Each stage—receiving, recovering, synthesizing, dispensing, and transferring—utilizes robust materials, like PVC and lead shielding of 75 to 150 mm, ensuring safety during handling of irradiated materials. The PLC-controlled conveyor facilitates seamless operation among cells, while robotic arms conduct precise dispensing. Built to align with current GMP guidelines, it supports both manual and automated operations, making it ideal for radiopharmaceutical manufacturers and nuclear medicine facilities seeking efficient, compliant production of solid radiopharmaceuticals.
