Counting PET biomarkers to track microglial activation

Volumetric maps quantify persistent microglial activation in athletes diagnosed with SRC who have achieved return to play compared to control groups. (A) Caudate. (B) Thalamus. (C) Putamen. (D) Hippocampus. (E) Amygdala.

The Posi-RAM PET metabolite radio-HPLC detector controlled by Laura has been used in a collaborative study by Neumann et al. between St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memphis TN and the University of Virginia, Charlottesville VA. The study investigated basal levels of translocator protein (TSPO), thought to increase during microglial activation as a consequence of sport-related concussions (SRC). Because of its high sensitivity and low background, the Posi-RAM was used to quantify [¹⁸F]DPA-714 binding in the brain of college athletes following a concussion, compared to healthy subjects.

Synthesising and validating [18-F]PARPi

A Logi-CHROM HPLC system controlled by Laura Radiopharma has been installed at Essen University Hospital’s Clinic for Nuclear Medicine. Anna Pacelli carries out postdoctoral research at the radiopharmacy into the automation and validation of radiopharmaceuticals for clinical use, specifically [18F]PARPi.

Anna said, “Using Laura to control the instruments is much more user-friendly than other software I’ve used. It’s easy to set up a new methodology, start a new project or navigate through existing ones, and purge the system when I need to. Everything is displayed clearly and it’s easy to navigate. Being able to use Laura for both HPLC and TLC instrumentation is convenient and allows us to standardise our work, rather than using two different software packages.”

Radiochemical purity testing for GMP and research PET tracers

LabLogic’s Scan-RAM radio-TLC scanner is being used at Edinburgh Imaging Facility’s radiochemistry unit and is controlled by Laura Radiopharma. Based at the University of Edinburgh, the unit houses a cyclotron with supporting radiochemistry suites to produce research PET radiotracers including F-18, C-11, and O-15. This allows EIF to conduct PET imaging experiments, develop fully translational tracers, and adopt existing radiotracers to GMP standards for clinical studies.

QC Manager Kenneth Wilson said, “All instrument control is via Laura software with full audit trails and electronic signatures available for GMP compliance. It offers comprehensive control of instrument parameters with saved methods and individual password-protected user logins with configurable access permissions ensuring validated methods remain safeguarded against unauthorised changes.”

Sensitive gamma spectrometry for Ga-68

LabLogic’s Spec-RAM gamma spectrometer controlled by Laura Radiopharma has been successfully installed at the Centre Hospitalier de Valenciennes in France where it is being used in the quality control of radiopharmaceuticals labelled with gamma-emitting radionuclides. When considering a replacement for their existing well counter, the compatibility of Laura with Valenciennes’ existing instrumentation proved critical.

Radiopharmacist Emmanuel Malek said, “The choice of Spec-RAM was based on its technical characteristics, in particular its size, sensitivity, and energy resolution. But the decisive factor was Laura, which we were already using for HPLC and radiochromatography. This meant that we could use just one software for all our QC equipment, making it quick and easy for our teams to get to grips with. What's more, with a remote licence for Laura, I have access to all the acquisitions, whatever the equipment used, from a single software package.”

Managing a new PET production facility and integration with PETra

Örebro University Hospital in Sweden has chosen LabLogic’s solutions for its new radiopharmacy which is being built to supply its current and future PET/CT cameras with tracers radiolabelled with Fluorine-18 initially and eventually Carbon-11, Gallium-68, and Oxygen-15. The hospital’s radiopharmacy will use LabLogic’s PETra PET Laboratory Information Management System to manage the production and administration of PET radiopharmaceuticals along with Laura Radiopharma.

QP and Head of Quality Assurance Lisa Holm said, “We like Laura's direct data capture from the instruments. We don’t have to write things down only to copy them over to the LIMS. The integration with PETra allows us to remove the human interaction, eliminate transcription errors, and be GMP-compliant.”

Choosing LabLogic's integrated solutions

Evergreen Theragnostics is a US-based radiopharmaceutical Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) that has chosen LabLogic as their partner of choice for LIMS and QC equipment controlled by Laura Radiopharma. The company offers a broad range of services for centrally distributed radiopharmaceuticals from Phase 0 through commercialisation

Head of Project Management Kevin Staton said, “We love Laura software for controlling hardware and collecting data in the QC lab, particularly due to its compliance with the FDA 21 CFR Part 11. It’s clear to us, and to auditors, how the data is stored and managed.

“Honestly, if Laura could control absolutely everything in our QC lab, we would happily use it. Having a few, centralised software platforms for data acquisition and management makes management easier for our IT department, our Quality department, and for user training. It also makes it easier for us to demonstrate compliance during external audits. For this reason, we are hoping LabLogic continues to develop even more integrations to support additional equipment in our QC lab."
