CRAB

CRAB represents a system covering all steps of processing of a solid target irradiated at a cyclotron. Using a unique design, it allows dissolution of the produced radiometal, radiochemical separation, formulation, and simple labelling. Together with various accessories, CRAB can serve as a comprehensive radiochemical system enabling hand-free management of the whole production process, including automatic target loading to the cyclotron and transportation of the irradiated target to a hot cell.

• Fully automised system to increase reproducibility and to minimise personnel dose intake
• Separation process based usually on solid phase extraction (SPE), finished by formulation of the separated radionuclide into a desired solvent
• Easy adjusting of the final activity concentration according to the particular needs
• System driven by PLC and I/O cards, communication with PC via Ethernet cable
• External cyclotron target chute enabling hand-free loading of irradiated target into the shielding container as an option

CRAB2RABBIT

CRAB2RABBIT is a unique solution for production of cyclon medical radiometals and their compounds.
This solution covers all the steps from the target handling up to labelled compound.
CRAB2RABBIT provides automated, fully remote-controlled procedures that exclude manual intervention during the target processing and labelling/separation steps.

CRAB2RABBIT fully automated process covers:

• preparing of a solid target for irradiation
• transport of the target to a cyclotron
• loading of the target to a target holder
• unloading of the irradiated target and transport to a hot cell
• loading of the target to the automated module that provides radionuclide´s separation and labelling
