Astronaut floating cells

Human radiation biology in space

In space, without the protection of the magnetosphere, the type and dose of radiation is considerably different to what is naturally experienced on earth.

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

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 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

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.

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.

Water Isotope Network

Water Isotope Network

Currently ANSTO partners with the Australian Bureau of Meteorology to operate the Australian GNIP stations with samples analysed at ANSTO’s Environmental Isotope Laboratories in Sydney.

IMSR core unit

Advanced reactors

Advanced nuclear reactors, such as molten salt-based reactors and very high-temperature reactors provide a viable option within a future mix of energy systems.

Helium 3 Polariser

Helium 3 Polariser

This state-of-the-art metastable-exchange optical-pumping helium-3 polarising system enables polarisation-analysis experiments on five of our existing instruments.

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 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.

X-ray fluorescence microscopy

X-ray fluorescence microscopy

The X-ray fluorescence microspectroscopy beamline offers a range of x-ray absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy techniques at submicron length-scales. The beamline has two microscopes optimised for complementary studies.
