Standard plan for the production of radiopharmaceuticals using an IBA cyclotron with 8 output ports:

Guy Bormans, Professor (Dr. Guy Bormans) Head of radiopharmaceutical production KU Leuven, Belgium.

Cyclone® KIUBE is a cyclotron that can evolve, which means that its performance can be increased step by step - from 100 µA to 150 µA, 180 µA and even up to 300 µA! By investing less initially and starting with Cyclone® KIUBE at 100uA, you will be able to increase your PET center's performance over time.

The eight output ports of the Cyclone® KIUBE make it the most flexible cyclotron in use, producing the widest array of PET radiopharmaceuticals. Efficiency without limits. The full range of Nirta® targets will enable the production of 18F, 13N, 15O, 11C (CO2 and CH4), 18F2, 68Ga...etc. In addition, IBA provides solid target technology

Nirta® to produce new isotopes such as 64Cu, 89Zr, 124I, 99mTc...

Experience has shown that a proton energy of 18 MeV is optimal to obtain the highest throughput for most PET isotopes. The production capacity of your center will be increased and optimized, as will your income; and the occupied floor space will be of a reasonable size, as will your investment. It follows that 18 MeV cyclotrons are the most cost effective solution for your isotope production laboratory. The growing demand for radioisotopes means the need to improve equipment efficiency. Cyclone ® KIUBE uses enriched water more economically and consumes the minimum amount of electricity per 1 Ci, while being the most powerful cyclotron on the market.

The Cyclone ® KIUBE system will provide unsurpassed production

power for PET cyclotrons with an internal source. Up to 30Ci of 18F can be obtained in a 2-hour cycle with two beams, and, accordingly, an incredibly large batch of FDG synthesized on Synthera ® modules
