Thanks to the 70 MeV proton, two important PET parent generators, namely 82Sr and 68Ge, can be produced. The Cyclone® 70 also offers variable energy up to 30 MeV, allowing access to other nuclear medicine isotopes: 111In, 123I, 201Tl...

The unique magnet design, based on IBA's patented "deep valley" technology, minimizes power requirements and delivers significant savings in operating costs. The patented RF system provides the highest system stability and availability.

The unique Cyclone® 70 automation has been carefully designed to be user friendly, flexible and reliable. This includes full automation of the cyclotron and targets. From the launch of the cyclotron to the output of the beam to the target, the routine operation of the cyclotron is automated using beam libraries.

The Cyclone® 70 XP plant produces proton, deuteron and alpha beams with energies up to 70 MeV. While protons and deuterons are accelerated in negative ion mode and extracted using two stripping systems, the positive alpha beam (He++) is accelerated and extracted in positive ion mode using an electrostatic deflector.

Acquiring a cyclotron is only the first step in a complex project. Numerous processes and high-tech equipment must be integrated into a cost-effective solution. Over the years, IBA's large team of equipment and radiopharmaceutical experts has provided close support for the implementation of fully GMP-compliant facilities. IBA offers a full range of ancillary engineering, installation and commissioning services required for the design of a new facility. IBA provides detailed drawings and recommendations on room dimensions and design, location, size and number of services required for the installation of Cyclone® 70, beam lines and targets, taking into account the specifics of high energy and high intensity beams.
