FAQ's
1. What are radiopharmaceuticals?
Radiopharmaceuticals are medical compounds that contain radioactive isotopes, used for the diagnosis or treatment of various diseases.
- Diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals (e.g., FDG, Tc-99m compounds) help visualise organ function in PET/SPECT imaging.
- Therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals (e.g., I-131, 177Lu, Ac-225) deliver targeted radiation to treat cancers and other conditions.
They are produced under strict regulatory controls to ensure safety, purity, and performance.
2. What products does your company manufacture?
We offer a comprehensive portfolio, including:
- 99mTc Generators
- I-131 Oral Solution & Capsules
- F-18/FDG and other 18F-based radiopharmaceuticals
- 177Lu-labelled radiopharmaceuticals
- 99mTc cold kits
- Peptides, Ac-225, and other radiochemical precursors
We also operate a cyclotron facility for PET isotope production.
3. Are your products compliant with regulatory standards?
Yes. All products are manufactured under GMP and meet applicable national and international regulatory requirements.
4. Who can purchase your radiopharmaceuticals?
Only AERB-licensed hospitals, nuclear medicine centres, radiopharmacies, and authorised distributors having a valid procurement NOC from the regulator.
5. What is the shelf life of your 99mTc Generator?
Typically, 7–14 days, depending on Mo-99 activity level.
6. How often can the generator be eluted?
It can be eluted every 24 hours, with multiple elutions possible as activity builds.
7. How should the generator be stored?
Store in a shielded area at a controlled ambient temperature, as specified in the product guidelines.
8. What are the clinical applications of I-131?
I-131 is used for:
- Treatment of thyroid cancer
- Treatment of hyperthyroidism
- Diagnostic thyroid uptake tests (where permitted)
9. What dosage formats are available?
We provide calibrated oral capsules and solutions, prepared for the required administration date.
10. How should I-131 products be stored?
Store in lead-shielded containers, following radiation safety and regulatory guidelines.
11. What 177Lu-labelled products do you offer?
Common products include 177Lu-DOTATATE, 177Lu-PSMA, and custom-labelled compounds, available upon request.
12. What is the shelf life of 177Lu-labelled radiopharmaceuticals?
Generally, 24–72 hours, depending on the compound.
13. Do you supply GMP-grade peptides for Lu-177 or Ac-225 radiolabelling?
Yes. GMP-grade peptides suitable for radiolabelling are available.
14. What Tc-99m cold kits do you supply?
We offer a range including MDP, DTPA, MIBI, Sulfur Colloid, and others.
15. What radiochemical purity can be expected after labelling?
Most kits achieve >95% radiochemical purity when prepared as instructed.
16. What is 18F-FDG?
18F-FDG (Fluorodeoxyglucose) is a PET radiopharmaceutical used to assess glucose metabolism, primarily for oncology, neurology, and cardiology imaging.
17. Do you produce your own F-18/FDG?
Yes. We manufacture F-18/FDG in-house at our cyclotron facility, ensuring consistent availability and quality.
18. What other 18F-based radiopharmaceuticals do you offer?
Depending on clinical demand and regulatory approvals, we offer:
- 18F-NaF
- 18F-DOPA
- 18F-PSMA
- 18F-Flurpiridaz (if applicable)
- Custom 18F-labelled compounds on request
19. What is the shelf life of 18F radiopharmaceuticals?
Most 18F compounds have a shelf life of 6–12 hours, depending on the specific formulation.
20. What is the delivery schedule for F-18 and FDG?
Due to the short half-life (110 minutes), deliveries are scheduled multiple times per day according to customer imaging slots.
21. Do you supply Actinium-225 (Ac-225)?
Yes. GMP-grade Ac-225 is available for licensed clinical and research use.
22. Are custom isotopes or peptides available?
Custom requests can be supported depending on regulatory and supply feasibility.
23. How are radiopharmaceuticals shipped?
Shipments follow IATA, AERB regulations in approved Type A or equivalent containers.
24. What radiation safety measures should customers follow?
Users must follow local radiation protection standards, including shielding, contamination control, and proper waste disposal.
25. Do you provide technical support or training?
Yes. Technical guidance, radiolabelling support, and training can be provided.
26. How can I place an order?
Orders may be placed via email, assigned sales manager, or through authorised distributors.
27. What are the typical lead times?
Approximate lead times:
- 99mTc Generator: 1–2 weeks
- I-131: 24–48 hours
- 177Lu: 48–72 hours
- F-18/FDG: Daily scheduled deliveries
28. How to contact customer support?
Support is available via email, phone, and online during business hours.
