In a significant achievement for the field of radionuclide production, a dedicated team consisting of scientists of NRG|PALLAS and Future Chemistry, has successfully completed the SAT for their state-of-the-art, custom made Lu-177 no carrier added (n.c.a.) preparative High Performance Liquid Chromatography (prep-HPLC) system.
Last week, we gladly hosted the 33rd NKRV workshop at our premises in Petten. The mission of this Dutch Society for Clinical Radiochemistry (NKRV) is to stimulate research and education in radio(pharmaceutical)chemistry as well as the application of radiopharmaceuticals in the clinic.

NRG and TerThera signed an agreement for irradiation services in the High Flux Reactor in Petten, the Netherlands to produce Terbium-161. The non-carrier-added (NCA) Terbium-161 is produced by neutron irradiation of highly enriched Gadolinium-160 targets in the Dutch research reactor.
New essential analysis equipment for Quality Control has been installed in FIELD-LAB. This equipment will be used to perform measurements on isotopes, produced by FIELD-LAB in the near future, to establish if the isotope is up to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards and, consequently, can be used in patients.
