The radiochemistry laboratories has been recently renovated to ISO class 5/7 GMP facility for all clinical and research productions. This sterile GMP-certified laboratory is equipped with two Capintech Hot Cells, two Comecere hot cells, four mini-cells. Inside the hot cells, we have GE FX2MeI, GE FX2M, GE FXC and TRASIS AIO modules for both C-11 and F-18 radiosyntheses. Additionally, we have USP797-complaint class 5 isolation chamber for preparation of final radiopharmaceutical clean vial. Inside the lab, we even have two chemistry fume hoods, a shielded rotary evaporator, and a GMP-certified laminar flow hood.
