¹¹C ¹³N ¹⁸F/F₂ Synthesis Unit

This unit has capability of repeat production of ¹¹C, ¹³N ¹⁸F, ¹⁵O compounded radio-tracers in short time in order to handle the short half life nuclide. The unit is completed to meet the repeat synthesis requirement by changing trays which will be placed on top of the unit. Each tray can be changed easily and quickly so that the same or the other compounds can be produced without wasting time.

Three types of tray are prepared for production of such chemicals. Type-A is used for the compounds which is produced by Grignard reaction such as acetate. Type-B is used for the general methylation compounds such as methionine and methyl-spiperon. Type-C is used for purifying 13NH3 which is produced by the in-target method inside ¹³NH₃ target system at cyclotron Type-D is used for ¹⁸F chemicals.

Type-A: Exchangeable Tray for Acetate
Type-B: Exchangeable Tray for general Methylation compounds
Type-C: Exchangeable Tray for ¹³NH_³
Type-D Exchangeable Tray for ¹⁸F compounds

This unit is commercially available HPLC consists of pump, UV and Radio detector to obtain the product free from precursor and other impurities.
(Columns should be switched manually)

This unit is used to remove the solvent from HPLC solution and to obtain the product in a saline solution.

This unit is used with Acetate tray to trap ¹¹CO₂ for synthesis of acetate.
