BIOMARKER GENERATOR

Introducing the BG-75 Biomarker Generator. The BG-75 is smaller, easier to install and simpler to operate than conventional cyclotrons.

Biomarker Generator

The BG-75 produces PET biomarkers and radioisotopes on demand. An integrated solution, the BG-75 encompasses an entire PET production lab in a 300 square feet (30 sq meter) room. It includes a self-shielded mini-cyclotron for producing the positron emitting F-18 isotope and microchemistry system for labeling specific molecules with the positron emitting isotopes. The unique BG-75 system is significantly smaller, easier to install and simpler to operate than conventional cyclotrons. 

Mini-Cyclotron

KEY FEATURES OF THE BG-75 SELF-SHIELDED MINI-CYCLOTRON

Self-Shielding

FEATURES OF OUR COMPACT SELF-SHIELDING SOLUTION

  • Self-shielded, eliminating the need for a bunker to house the system.
  • Shield opens vertically for servicing and provides radiation protection of <1 mR per hour in the typical room size specified.
  • Micro-Chemistry module is also self-shielded and can be installed adjacent to the cyclotron shield for direct connection within the same room.
