[11C]Choline
Commercially available: ready to use consumables and optimized method
Application
[11C]Choline is a PET diagnostic radiotracer used in oncology and in particular for prostate cancer. Because of its low uptake in normal brain, heart and urinary tract tissues compared to other tracers like [18F]FDG, imaging tumors located near those structures results in a greater sensitivity.
Configuration
This 11C process automated on a disposable device from target outlet to final product vial involves a “Reagent Kit” and a “Cassette”.
Advantages
- 11C chemistry made simple
- Whole process on one box
- Reproducible yield
- No lab bench preparation required
- Disposable cassette, no cleaning
Performances
Cassette and reagents set up time | < 1 min |
Synthesis time | 15 min |
Radiochemical purity | ≥ 98 % |
