Watch as we demonstrate the advanced features of the next generation of radiochromatography equipment
With the recent launch of the new Scan-RAM 2, Product Specialist and Executive Vice President, LabLogic Inc., Victor Tchiprout demonstrates what’s new with the most advanced radio-TLC scanner available for Nuclear Medicine applications. Available in 5 different models combining radio-TLC scanning, radio-HPLC detection, and gamma spectrometry, Victor also talks through the range and their respective features.
New smart detectors for improved counting efficiency
A brand new range of cableless detectors has been introduced with improved sensitivity, including Silicon Photomultipliers, or SiPMs, with Peltier cooling for consistent performance. This delivers up to 50% improvement in counting efficiency for radiochemical purity measurements of 18F-FDG. All detectors are interchangeable and automatically recognised and optimised depending on the radionuclide being used.

A range of configurations
In addition to the standard radio-TLC scanner, Scan-RAM 2 is available in four other configurations that can be paired with different detectors, making it suitable for both high and low levels of radioactivity.
- The standard Scan-RAM 2 is a single-detector TLC scanner, which provides accurate results for radiochemical purity testing.
- If you’re working with a wide range of isotopes, the Scan-RAM 2 Duo has space for two detectors of different scintillator types meaning that the most suitable detector is always available.
- The Scan-RAM 2 MCA is ideal if you need to combine radiochemical purity testing and radionuclidic identity combines a multichannel analyser with a dedicated detector into one system.
- The Scan-RAM 2 Dual has a single radio-TLC detector and a radio-HPLC detector, saving valuable bench space. For radio HPLC detection, the eluent line runs through a lead shield and is measured by a sperate detector, which operates independently from the radio-TLC, and therefore both analyses can be run simultaneously.
- The new Scan-RAM 2 All-in-One combines the functionality of a radio-TLC scanner, a radio HPLC detector, and a gamma spectrometer in one highly flexible system.
Complete a measurement in just 2 clicks with Laura’s new quick start wizard
All Scan-RAMs are controlled by LabLogic’s market-leading software, Laura, which is used in hundreds of radiopharmacies worldwide. The new quick start wizard has an intuitive user interface that simply requires only 2 clicks to complete your run.
Laura has all the features required for regulatory compliance along with many unique features such as a configurable pass-and-fail criteria, automatic peak finder, and half-life correction. It can also be used as a single point of control for HPLCs and GCs from a variety of manufacturers as well as the Hidex range of gamma and scintillation counters.
