HCF target - helium cooling free target

Nirta® liquid targets

Maximizing output for 18F, 64Cu, and 68Ga

IBA Nirta® liquid targets deliver high power with the lowest enriched water consumption available on the market. Their wide range of volumes ensure your production capacity always matches your needs, achieving up to 5.3Ci/ml in a 2-hour run1.

Nirta® Helium Cooling Free targets provide an additional productivity boost, achieving up to 20% higher yield per run. Their design also enhances safety, as no activated parts remain on the cyclotron, and maintenance is reduced by half. In addition, operational costs are optimized, using up to 47% less enriched water2. IBA also provides a patented solution3 to produce 68Ga, offering clear technical advantages: no long-lived 68Ge in the final dose, a simple and cost-effective (c)GMP process comparable to 18F production, short irradiation times, no dissolution delay, and reduced hot cell space requirements.
