(hide this warning on this page)The Molecular Imaging Core images animals and cells by several techniques:
A cyclotron produces radioisotopes which the Radiochemistry Laboratory uses to make radioisotopes for non-invasive Positron Emission Tomography imaging. The Radiochemistry Laboratory synthesizes established radiotracers and assists development of novel imaging agents. The Radiochemistry Core is equpped with:
Trasis All-in-One Automated Radiosynthesizer
Produce preclinical or clinical radiopharmaceuticals on a fully automated platform.
*This list is not meant to be all-inclusive as we have a variety of other imaging agents available for preclinical and human research use. The Trasis is also an open platform machine; thus, we can produce customized radiopharmaceuticals as well. Please contact Kiel Neumann with questions about radiotracer availability and production.
Custom Chemical Synthesis
The core is also capable of performing custom chemical synthesis for researchers interested in using organic small molecules in their research. Services may include:
Hidex Automated Gamma Counter
Gamma detection window of 15-4,000 kEv (almost any research isotope (F18, C11, Tc99m, 125I, 68Ga 89Zr, 64Cu, etc.))
Belt-driven/robotic arm automated system with a shielded internal sample balance
