Radiochemistry

ANSTO radiolabelling laboratories can radiolabel with several isotopes, including I-123, I-125, F-18, Tc-99m, Lu-177 and Cu-64.

ANSTO is equipped to radiolabel small novel synthetic molecules, peptides and proteins for biological evaluation.

Four hot cells have robotic arms to perform large scale radiosynthesis. A GE Nuclear Interface box is used for large scale automated radiosynthesis.
