The first step in every journey of discovery with PET imaging begins with tracer production. Every tracer that you produce and deliver can lead to a crucial moment of discovery; every tracer has the potential to change lives. We understand that, in order to succeed as a profitable world-class tracer center, providing a cost-effective service while delivering outstanding quality is key. To achieve this, your PET center requires efficient, predictable tracer output.
The FASTlab 2 New Edition
- enables reliable quality and yield even at high-activity: proven 78% yield (EOS) from 550+ FDG phosphate runs, standard deviation of +/- 3% points.
- is proven for heavy duty production up to 30 Ci input activity, enabled by radiation hardening redesign of the electronics
- is powered by our customers’ achievements with 2600+ radiochemistry systems including 740+ FASTlabs worldwide
- brings high reliability proven by 99.6% system uptime and
- introduces integrated cyber security software enabled by safety analysis of the software, role-based user access levels and a hardened operating system
What sets FASTlab 2 New Edition apart from all other radiochemistry systems is its unique integrated cassette-based design together with GMP quality components (e.g. vials) which enable and ease the regulatory reliability & compliance in tracer production. Pre-measured quantities of every chemical and component needed for the synthesis of a radiopharmaceutical are contained in a single cassette. That means it only takes two simple steps to start producing virtually any clinical tracer you need. All you have to do is drop in a pre-loaded cassette and the system is ready for processing.
This unique, cassette-based system not only simplifies this step of tracer production, it also makes it more reliable and secure compared to other methods. Our cassettes are manufactured in a controlled environment, pre-loaded with reagents produced under cGMP standards, barcoded for automatic identification and sealed shut. They are also disposable, so when a run is complete, each component that comes into contact with the chemical is replaced to ensure clean operation.
FASTlab 2 is designed for easy, confident production of a broad spectrum of PET tracers. It enables automated synthesis of FDG and other 18F-based PET tracers with high output and uptime. Two synthesizers can be stacked into a single hot cell, giving you greater output and saving valuable lab space. With our FDG Duo cassette, you can perform up to four FDG citrate runs without opening the hot cell door.
In addition, FASTlab 2 Developer gives you even greater flexibility by enabling you to develop your own tracers and then allowing you to produce them using the cassette system.
Easily accommodate your daily production needs
Evolve alongside clinical needs
Meet current and future demands with a scalable solution.
FASTlab 2 New Edition enables you to access new tracers and meet variable demand.
From easy GMP production of key tracers to implementing tracers developed in-house or by partners. FASTlab 2 New Edition also provides an open platform to produce innovative tracers for research, whether 18F labelled or radio-metal based e.g., 61Cu, 64Cu, 68Ga,89Zr.
