The end of the last century was marked by the rapid development of research areas at the junction of nuclear physics, chemistry, medicine and pharmacology, which received support at the state level in many developed countries, as well as in major international research organizations such as the IAEA, CERN, etc. In this regard, the field of application of radioisotope products in nuclear medicine and industry is rapidly expanding. Radioisotopes are used in advanced methods of diagnosis and therapy of human diseases, as well as in scientific research, in various fields of industry and agriculture, biology, environmental studies and other fields.
The main sources of radionuclide production are nuclear reactors and charged particle accelerators, which include cyclotrons. The advantages of cyclotron isotopes are their high specific activity and radionuclide purity.
Cyclotron JSC is a leading Russian manufacturer of cyclotron radioactive isotopes and radiation sources based on them.
The production of radionuclides at Cyclotron JSC is carried out using two cyclotrons.
The first cyclotron, U-150, accelerates protons to the energy of 20-23 MeV. Average current of the internal beam on the target during irradiation is up to 1100 µA. Nuclear reactions (p,2n), (p,pn), (p,2p) are used for the radionuclide production on this facility.
The second cyclotron, RIC-14, accelerates protons to the energy of 14 MeV. Average current of the internal beam on the target during irradiation reaches 2100 µA. The (p,n)-nuclear reaction is used to produce the radionuclides on this accelerator.
The irradiated targets are processed in the radiochemical laboratory. The technical equipment of the laboratory is modern technological equipment with remote control, located in protective heavy boxes that comply with the "Basic Sanitary Rules for radiation Safety".
Various types of radiation sources and gallium-68 generators are manufactured on the basis of the radionuclides produced.
Radionuclide production technologies are constantly being improved. In addition, technological processes for the manufacture of ionizing radiation sources, gallium-68 generators and the regeneration of enriched stable isotopes used in the production of radionuclides are being developed and improved. The introduction of innovative technologies into production allows us to increase production volumes, increase its efficiency and improve the quality of products.
The main task of the company is the production and supply to the market of products of such quality that best meets the needs of consumers. Quality for the company is a key indicator of the competitiveness of our products, as well as the key to the well—being of each employee individually and the company as a whole.
To ensure a consistently high level of product quality, Cyclotron CJSC has developed and implemented a Quality Management System based on the requirements of the International Standard ISO 9001:2015.
The production and supply of radioisotope products is carried out on the basis of Licenses from the Russian Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing (ROSPOTREBNADZOR) and the Federal Environmental, Industrial and Nuclear Supervision Service of Russia (ROSTECHNADSOR).
The company complies with the most stringent environmental safety standards.
Our competitive advantages are:
• High quality of products
• High business reputation
• Professional team
• High scientific and technical potential
We will be glad to see you among our clients and partners!
The history of the company is inextricably linked with the previous period and from the moment of the launch of the first cyclotron to the present is a process of continuous modernization of accelerator systems and assemblies, a constant process of developing and implementing new technologies for producing radioisotope products, which allows for a constant increase in the productivity of radionuclide production, the development of new types and improving the quality of radioisotope products.
