Cyclone® KIUBE
<p>For small <sup>64</sup>Cu production, the most cost effective solution is the irradiation of a liquid target at an energy around 14-16 MeV protons. Cyclone<sup>® </sup>KIUBE can have different fixed exit energy with its Custom Energy feature allowing the highest purity.</p> <p>Cyclone<sup>®</sup> KIUBE can also be equipped with a degrador foil on the liquid target</p> More about Cyclone® KIUBE

Synthera® extension
<p>The technique is capable of delivering batches of purified <sup>64</sup>Cu ([<sup>64</sup>Cu]CuCl2); with only 30 min of post-process after End-Of-Beam (EOB), while avoiding the technical difficulties arising from the use of conventional solid targets.</p> More about Synthera® Extension

Cyclone® KIUBE
<p>For large scale production, <sup>64</sup>Cu can be produced with the irradiation of a solid target at 12- 16 MeV. Cyclone<sup>®</sup> KIUBE can have different fixed exit energy with its Custom Energy feature allowing the highest purity.</p> <p>Cyclone<sup>®</sup> KIUBE can also be equipped with a degrador foil on the solid target </p> More about Cyclone® KIUBE

Nirta® solid target
<p>Nirta<sup>®</sup> Solid target can be used for irradiation of enriched <sup>64</sup>Ni to produce <sup>64</sup>Cu via <sup>64</sup>Ni(p,n)<sup>64</sup>Cu nuclear reaction. The target is electroplated onto a silver backing with the Nirta<sup>®</sup> plating system<br /> The target material is then manually or automatically transferred to a hot cell. </p> <p>Since the enriched <sup>64</sup>Ni is very expensive, recycling is recommended. </p> More about Nirta® target

Pinctada® Metal
<p>The irradiated target material is then dissolved and post-processed. Pinctada<sup>®</sup> platform is a complete industrial platform for the dissolution & separation for production of <sup>64</sup>Cu.</p> <p>The purified radioisotope is obtained in the form of Copper-chloride and it can be used for further labelling manually or on Synthera<sup>®</sup></p> More about Pinctada® metal
