Micro-Dose Calibrator for Pre-clinical Radiotracer Assays

Micro-Dose Calibrator for Pre-clinical Radiotracer Assays

09/06/2019 11:32 AM EDT

Pre-clinical radiotracer biomedical research involves the use of compounds labeled with radioisotopes, including radio-ligand bio-distribution studies, cell binding studies, immune cell labeling techniques, and α-based therapies. Before this Micro-Dose Calibrator, measurement of pre-clinical level dosage for small animal studies was inaccurate and unreliable. This dose calibrator is a prototype ready for manufacturing. It is designed to accurately measure radioactive doses in the range of 50 nCi (1.8 kBq) to 100 µCi (3.7 MBq) with 1% precision.
