Introduction
This module provides basic
information on FDG production
chemistry. These links will lead you
to presentations about the synthesis
of FDG in general, how the
commercial synthesizers work and
some common problems with FDG
synthesis. The next slide gives an
overview of the commercially
available synthesizers.

The Advanced FDG Carousel Dual Synthesis module is a fully
automated, single-purpose device that produces sterile, pyrogenfree Fluoro-Deoxy-Glucose (FDG) suitable for human use. The
only user intervention required is loading of the starting kits, and
removal of the final product. A Lookout based user interface
keeps the user informed of the status of the production.
The sequence and length
of each process step can
be changed easily by
editing an Excel
spreadsheet.

Synthera® is designed to accommodate a wide range of
radiochemistries. Modules can be interconnected in series to
implement complex processes. Creation of different tracers only
requires changing the IFP™ model. Syntheses are
reproduceable.
Integrated Fluidic
Processor (IFP™) is an
innovative solution
for the automation of a
multitude of predefined
syntheses
while offering the benefit
of a disposable system.
