Radioanalytical chemistry

Radioanalytical chemistry

ANSTO’s Radioanalytical Chemistry (RAC) facility combines techniques in radiochemistry and radiological measurement by alpha spectrometry, gamma-ray spectrometry, and liquid scintillation analysis to deliver radiological assessments.

Autoradiograph wheat

Radiotracer studies

The use of radioisotopes, radiolabeled molecules and radioactive particles in conjunction with a range of quantitative imaging spectroscopy and radiation counting methods.

PET scan animal brain

Preclinical imaging

Expertise in the use of PET and SPECT imaging techniques to understand biological processes at the cellular and molecular level. The techniques ae also used to study disease processes and monitor the effects of new therapies

Beam with cloud

Neutron capture enhanced particle therapy (NCEPT)

A large team of ANSTO scientists in collaboration with University of Wollongong researchers has developed a new hybrid technique that enhances the effectiveness of a cutting-edge form of radiation therapy for advanced cancer.

Immunofluorescent assay

Radiation biology

The measurement and manipulation of radiation and radioactive materials within biological systems. Capabilities include access to a range of radioisotopes,   gamma/X-ray sources and a selection of X-ray beams, ion beams and neutron beams for irradiation. 

PET scan brain

Development of radiotracers

The Biosciences team undertakes the radiolabelling of chemical, biochemical. biological or material vector for the purpose of radiotracing in living systems.

Radioisotopes lab

Development of radioisotopes

Research and development activity explores new, boutique radioisotopes, including positron, gamma and beta/gamma emitter. The aim is to provide material for the next generation of diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals

Radiotracers

Radiotracers

ANSTO provides a range of radiotracers for pre-clinical and clinical research using the OPAL multipurpose reactor. Users can access more than 300 known radiotracers. If a starting material is provided, new and non-commercial radiotracers can be produced.

PET animal model

Radiotracer characterisation and evaluation

Biosciences staff support research for radiopharmaceutical translation, radiation biology and radiotracer studies. New radiotracers can be fully characterised and assessed by a range of evaluation techniques, including in vitro and in vivo studies.
