Modular-Lab PharmTracer

Your solution for efficient routine production and research of radiopharmaceuticals

Modular-Lab PharmTracer is your solution for efficient routine production of radiopharmaceuticals and research. It uses disposable cassettes containing all the necessary components for a particular synthesis.

By customizing the synthesis cassettes and adapting the projects in the software new tracers and processes can easily be developed.

CE-Conformity Certificates are available and will be provided on request. Please use the contact form to get in touch.

Detail Information

Introduction

The laboratory equipment Modular-Lab PharmTracer has been specifically designed to allow versatile and efficient routine production of different tracers, complying with GMP requirements. The concept of disposable cassettes enables the user to easily label different radionuclides with the same setup, but without the risk of cross contamination.

The system retains the reliability and versatility of the Modular-Lab Standard system, allowing to make changes in the process as necessary during early-stage development, but then “lock-in” the process for routine production. With this addition, Modular-Lab PharmTracer is the ideal platform for development as well as production of radiopharmaceuticals.

Setup for theranostic tracers and more

The Modular-Lab PharmTracer setup for the labeling of ⁶⁸Ga-, ¹¹¹In-, ¹⁷⁷Lu- and ⁹⁰Y-DOTA peptides will be combined with a Heater Reaction Module (HRM), a Syringe Module (SYM) and, if necessary, with an additional 1-fold Module (SLM-1) when performing the a presure test before the synthesis.

Sterile disposable cassettes ensure easy handling by click‘n’start technology. Reagent sets are available. The easy-to-program intuitive graphical interface of the Modular-Lab software is used to control or adapt the synthesis process.

Setup for ¹⁸F tracers

By simply adding modules the setup can be rearranged for use with 18F tracers. Using the cartridge-based SPE purification approach, the basic Fluorine-18 PharmTracer setup, consisting of the Heater Module (HRM), the Syringe Module (SYM), the 4-fold Module (SLM-4), the 2-fold Module (SLM-2) and a vacuum pump, will enable the production of [¹⁸F]FDG, [¹⁸F]FET, [¹⁸F]FLT, [¹⁸F]FMISO and [¹⁸F]PSMA-1007. A heater and SLM-4 will not be required when producing [¹⁸F]NaF.

Further Setups

Further combinations allow the production of ¹¹C, ⁶⁴Cu and many other tracers. More detailed information, e.g. for dispensing, can be provided upon request.

Sterile Disposable Cassettes

All cassettes are assembled under GMP-compliant clean room conditions, sterilized with gamma-radiation and double-vacuum-packed. The consumables used are chemical resistant and have been tested for their suitability with the specific syntheses. A shelf life of 18 months can be guaranteed.

Cartridges are included and preconditioned automatically if necessary. Due to the cassettes one-time use no cleaning, drying or sanitation routines are necessary.

Advantages

Modular-Lab PharmTracer is based on a unique, modular approach combining the speed and safety of a remote, fully-automated system with the option to configure syntheses for novel tracers. The GMP-manufactured sterile disposable cassettes avoid intense cleaning and sanitation routines. The synthesis process is programmed by Eckert & Ziegler Eurotope GmbH making additional programming dispensable. Modular-Lab PharmTracer’s multifunctionality supports routine production of ¹⁸F-, ¹¹C-, ⁶⁸Ga-, ¹¹¹In-, ¹⁷⁷Lu- and ⁹⁰Y base tracers.

The setup can also be combined with an analytical HPLC and TLC. The intuitive user interface supports compliance of your process with GMP, cGMP, GLP and GAMP 5 requirements. Parameters such as temperature, activity detector readings, flow rates, or valve settings can be monitored easily in one window. Reports containing all relevant data and information are created automatically after each run. In addition, a cost and space efficient alternative to the conventional electrical cabinet (EC) is now available for specific systems with low power consumption. It consists of the EC mini in combination with the software Modular-Lab SoftPLC.
