iSCAN An Intelligent TLC Radiochromatography Instrument
Features
Performs Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC) using an appropriately shielded highresolution NaI detector- Performs both: chemical purity analysis through TLC scanning and radionuclide purity analysis by means of energy spectrum analysis(also known as pulse height analysis – PHA)
- Allows automatic storing of PHA spectra together with the chromatogram spectrum (scan)
- Full hardware control (both scanner and data acquisition system) via software
- Scan can be performed under manual control as well
- Complete and comprehensive software package with “Protocol-driven” measurements, for best reproducibility and quality control
- All measurements and parameters are stored into a database. A specialized data review program is included in the standard software package
- Windows® 2000 and XP platforms supported
- The iScan is only for sale in Benelux and Denmark.
Description
The iScan, is an
intelligent radiochromatography
instrument, that
uses Radioactive
Thin-Layer Chromatography
(TLC)
a well-established
analytical technique
used to identify
components in a
mixture. It is widely
used in Nuclear
Medicine laboratories
to control the
compounding and
dispensing of radioactive
pharmaceuticals
used in nuclear medicine procedures. The technique is used as well by
producers of radiopharmaceuticals, where quality of the production must be
monitored continuously.
Today, a radiochemical purity control is absolutely essential to ensure the
accuracy of the radiopharmaceutical-based medical analysis.
At the same time the radionuclide purity of the radiopharmaceutical is a
warranty of its efficiency and quality.
This instrument targets the control and measurement of both characteristics
of the radiopharmaceuticals.
