NanoTek Chemistry System

Chemistry on Demand

Only the NanoTek Chemistry System offers high-yield, high-purity microsynthesis of multiple positron emission tomography (PET) compounds in 2 minutes.

• Fast - 35 times faster than conventional macrochemistry. Synthesis times of 1 to 2 minutes
• Flexible - Multiple biomarker batches produced from a single F¹⁸ batch
• Efficient - 2.5 times greater yields and lower reagent usage
• Expandable - Modular hardware and software adapt to research needs
• Integrated - Microscale purification is built in or can accommodate an external pump
• Rugged – Solvent-tolerant, high-temperature, and high-pressure reactors
• Versatile - Microscale and macroscale liquid, gas, and solid phase reactor components

NanoTek - Liquid Flow Reactor System

The NanoTek Chemistry System is a modular, liquid-flow-based F¹⁸ microchemistry system with the ability to combine both microscale and macroscale process steps. Modular components give the user maximum flexibility producing positron emission tomography compounds for both discovery and clinical applications.
