> The Scan-RAM 2 All-in-One provides three instruments in one by combining a radio-HPLC detector, a radio-TLC scanner, and gamma spectrometer.
> It allows radiopharmacies to perform radio-TLC and gamma spectrometry analysis using a single radioactive sample, thereby reducing dose exposure.
> It is the ideal instrument for facilities working with radiopharmaceuticals labelled with nuclides such as 18F, 68Ga, 177Lu, and 99mTc where lab space may be limited.
A compact instrument that does not compromise on performance
As facilities are retrospectively equipped with QC instruments to accommodate the growth of nuclear medicine and an increasing range of different radiopharmaceuticals, laboratory bench space is typically limited. The new Scan-RAM 2 range of radio-TLC scanners are compact instruments that do not compromise on performance, being 42% smaller than other available scanners.
The All-in-One Scan-RAM 2 provides three instruments in one by combining a radio-HPLC detector, a radio-TLC scanner, and a gamma spectrometer. This allows radiopharmacies which have limited space to perform their QC testing in one location. It also allows users to perform radio-TLC and gamma spectrometry analysis using a single radioactive sample, removing the need to handle multiple ones, and thereby reducing dose exposure.
Three QC checks in one
For radio-TLC scanning, the Scan-RAM 2 All-in-One delivers highly accurate results for radiochemical purity testing, allowing for precise separation and identification of radiolabelled compounds. For gamma spectrometry, it provides the necessary resolution demanded for common gamma-emitting radiolabelled compounds such as 18F, 68Ga, and 99mTc. For radio-HPLC, it offers equivalent performance to standalone radio-HPLC detectors, ensuring the accurate detection and quantification of samples after chromatographic separation.
A compliant solution with Laura Radiopharma
Like all LabLogic instruments and many others, the Scan-RAM 2 All-in-One is controlled by Laura Radiopharma, our Quality Control software for data collection and analysis. Designed to comply strictly with regulatory guidelines such as GxP and CFR 21 Part 11, it features a suite of tools including audit trails, electronic signatures, and absolute data integrity when used with our LIMS, PETra and SPECTra.
When paired with the regulatory compliance provided by Laura Radiopharma, the All-in-One provides a neat, compact solution with improved operational safety for sites restricted by available bench space and costs.
