Radiosynthesis
Radiosynthesis is a fully automated synthesis method in which radioactive compounds are produced. Radiosynthesis is generally carried out by several nuclear interface modules, which are protected by the lead shielding and controlled by a computer semi-automatically. The set-ups of modules are different depending on the type of product and synthesis process. Consequently, the modules should be adapted with the synthesis stages. In some cases, such stages of synthesis are carried out manually in order to optimize the radiochemical yield or due to the incompatibility or lack of module. Module Radiosynthesis modules consist of following constant components: *Reservoir: To store reactants *Pipe : To link all components together *Valve : To manage the flow of liquids * Reactor : To proceed the reaction(s) *Temperature and Radioactivity sensor : To adjust and measure the temperature and radioactivity * Preparative HPLC : To purify the Product There are also some components which a ...

Fully Automated Synthesis
Automated synthesis or automatic synthesis is a set of techniques that use Robotics, robotic equipment to perform chemical synthesis in an automated way. Automating processes allows for higher efficiency and product quality although automation technology can be cost-prohibitive and there are concerns regarding overdependence and job displacement. Chemical processes were automated throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, with major developments happening in the previous thirty years, as technology advanced. Tasks that are performed may include: synthesis in variety of different conditions, Sample preparation (analytical chemistry), sample preparation, Purification (chemistry), purification, and Chemical extraction, extractions. Applications of automated synthesis are found on research and industrial scales in a wide variety of fields including polymers, personal care, and radiosynthesis. Automating Synthesis An automated synthesis is very similar in procedure to performing a manua ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hot Cell
Shielded nuclear radiation containment chambers are commonly referred to as hot cells. The word "hot" refers to radioactivity. Hot cells are used in both the nuclear-energy and the nuclear-medicines industries. They are required to protect individuals from radioactive isotopes by providing a safe containment box in which they can control and manipulate the equipment required. Nuclear industry Hot cells are used to inspect spent nuclear fuel rods and to work with other items which are high-energy gamma ray emitters. For instance, the processing of medical isotopes, having been irradiated in a nuclear reactor or particle accelerator, would be carried out in a hot cell. Hot cells are of nuclear proliferation concern, as they can be used to carry out the chemical steps used to extract plutonium (whether weapons grade or not) from reactor fuel. The cutting of the used fuel, the dissolving of the fuel in hot nitric acid and the first extraction cycle of a nuclear reprocessin ...

Radio Nuclide Generator
Radio is the technology of signaling and communicating using radio waves. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves of frequency between 30 hertz (Hz) and 300 gigahertz (GHz). They are generated by an electronic device called a transmitter connected to an antenna which radiates the waves, and received by another antenna connected to a radio receiver. Radio is very widely used in modern technology, in radio communication, radar, radio navigation, remote control, remote sensing, and other applications. In radio communication, used in radio and television broadcasting, cell phones, two-way radios, wireless networking, and satellite communication, among numerous other uses, radio waves are used to carry information across space from a transmitter to a receiver, by modulating the radio signal (impressing an information signal on the radio wave by varying some aspect of the wave) in the transmitter. In radar, used to locate and track objects like aircraft, ships, spacecraft ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
