CRAB

CRAB represents a system that encompasses all steps of processing a solid target irradiated in a cyclotron. Using a unique design, it enables the dissolution of radiometals, radiochemical separation, formulation, and simple labeling. With various accessories, CRAB can serve as a comprehensive radiochemical system, ensuring the entire production process is handled seamlessly, including automatic target loading into the cyclotron and the transfer of the irradiated target to a hot cell.

  • To increase repeatability and minimize personnel dose intake, a fully automated system.
  • Generally, a thick-phase extraction (SPE)-based separation process is completed by formulating the separated radionuclide into a desired solvent.
  • The final activity concentration can be easily adjusted according to specific needs.
  • The system operated with PLC and I/O cards communicates with the PC via an Ethernet cable.
  • An optional external cyclotron target trough allows the irradiated target to be loaded into a protective container without manual intervention.

Protective container designed for the easy transport of the irradiated target and, optionally, for loading into the CRAB.
