Abstract:
An apparatus for carrying out a chemical synthesis and related systems and methods are disclosed. The apparatus may comprise at least one rotatable drum comprising at least one slot having at least one chemical reagent or a cartridge, and at least one system block configured to be in communication with the at least one chemical reagent. The system block may comprise at least one means for extracting reagent from the slot. The apparatus may comprise a plurality of slots and a plurality of system blocks, wherein each system block may be in communication with at least one slot of reagent or cartridge.
Abstract:
Macro- and microfluidic devices and related technologies, and chemical processes using such devices. More specifically, the devices may be used for a fully automated synthesis of radioactive compounds for imaging, such as by positron emission tomography (PET), in an efficient, compact and safe to the operator manner. In particular, embodiments of the present invention relate to an automated, multi-run, microfluidic instrument for the multi-step synthesis of radiopharmaceuticals, such as PET probes, comprising a remote shielded mini-cell containing radiation-handing components.
