YOU’LL KNOW AT FIRST

HOW IT WORKS

Radiometals are produced from solid target materials with the highest yield.

The d.o.t.s. target® system performs the irradiation and dissolution of the irradiated target material in an automatized way.

The target solution is transferred to the hotcell via capillary line.

  • Insert target holder

    One target holder has multiple (4 or 7) positions, so you have to access the cyclotron for target holder replacement only after several production runs.

  • Preparation for irradiaton

    Move the target to the irradiation position and start cooling.

  • Irradiaton

    Perform the irradiation.

  • Preparation for dissolution

    Move the target to the dissolution position and perform leak checking.

  • Dissolution

    Perform the dissolution and transfer the activity to the hotcell.

SLIDE BETWEEN POSITIONS

L7 - linear for 7 shots

The target uses linear target holders with 7 positions.
Irradiation- and dissolution positions are separated in space.
The target holders are shifted from the irradiation position to the dissolution position by linear movement.
The L7 target is compatible with GE PETtrace cyclotron, and cyclotrons with beam lines.

ROTATE BETWEEN POSITIONS

R4 - revolving for 4 shots

The target uses circular target holders with four positions.
The target holders are shifted from irradiation position to dissolution position by rotary movement of a pneumatically actuated arm.
The R4 target is compatible with self-shielded GE PETtrace, Minitrace, IBA Cyclone and Kiube cyclotrons.

READY FOR PRODUCTION

Benefits of d.o.t.s. target®

The simplicity of our target system makes installation, production and waste-handling simple too.

Installation in one day

Only two capillary lines for liquid transfer are necessary

Simple operation

The operation of the target is controlled by a PLC, which is remotely accessible from a web-browser on a PC

Cyclotron compatibilty

Compatible with: GE PETtrace, GE Minitrace, IBA Cyclone, IBA Kiube (If your cyclotron is not on the list, contact us for a customized solution)

Save target material

Use low amount of target material to produce enough activity for one camera – avoid complex logistical challenges to utilize huge batches for cost efficiency

Dissolution in the target

No hotcell space is used for target handling

Single use target holders

After a short intermediate storage, target holders can be discarded with normal waste

Affordable

For the price of one GMP grade 68Ge/68Ga generator, you can get an isotope generator, that never expires and ready to supply radiometals when you need them

Flexibility

High yield irradiations enable on demand production, easy to fit irradiation between fluorine productions

On demand production

Produce short-lived radiometals only when you need them

Synthesis module compatibility

Compatible with any synthesis module

Scalable

With higher target material mass, production capacity can be multiplied

Easy adaptation to daily routine

No special target handling tasks (e.g. electroplating) required. Insert a disposable target holder before the daily irradiations, and produce the desired isotopes

Safety

Irradiated target material is separated from the vacuum tank and the helium cooling system of the cyclotron – no contamination possible
