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 4 Ci/ml in a 2-hour run.

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 50% less enriched water. IBA also provides a patented solution¹ 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.

Engineered for ¹⁵O and ¹¹C production

IBA Nirta^® gas targets offer gas irradiation systems designed for the efficient production of ¹⁵O and ¹¹C radioisotopes, including [¹⁵O]O_₂, [¹⁵O]H_₂O, [¹¹C]CH_₄ and [¹¹C]CO_₂. These systems provide a cost-effective solution with a simple and rapid production process, enabling high-activity output while supporting reliable routine operations.

Efficient large-batch production of radiometals and halogen radioisotopes 

IBA Nirta^® solid targets are irradiation systems designed to support the production of a wide range of nonconventional radioisotopes, such as ⁶⁸Ga, ⁶⁴Cu, ⁸⁹Zr, ¹²⁴I and many others.
 

The solid target (up to 150µA) is engineered for large-batch production. Its high-end technology enables fully automated back-and-forth transfer of the target capsule, with no human intervention and without any access to the bunker. It is available with three types of capsules with different slanting angles: 90°, 35°, and 10°, ensuring optimal flexibility for diverse applications.
 

Fluidomica offers ready-to-use cyclotron liquid target solutions with enriched stable isotopes for the production of radiometals.
