🔬 Dual-Cyclotron Platform in Jiangsu Marks One Year of Stable Operation

2026-07-13

📍A dual-cyclotron platform supplied by LBT has been operating stably for over one year at a research institute in Jiangsu Province, China.

⚛️ Equipped with both a 7 MeV and a 20 MeV medical cyclotron, the platform provides flexible isotope production support for radiopharmaceutical research, molecular imaging, and postgraduate training.

🧪 For F-18 production, the institute can flexibly select either cyclotron according to the scale and isotope demand of each research project. The 20 MeV system supports larger production requirements and broader research applications, while the 7 MeV system provides an efficient option for smaller-scale experiments.

🧬 To support novel radiopharmaceutical development, the institute also carries out regular Zr-89 production using the LB-20 cyclotron together with an LBT solid target system. The downstream radiochemistry workflow has demonstrated high synthesis efficiency with minimal process loss.

🎯 The platform currently serves multiple research groups working on different topics, supporting routine experiments in isotope production, radiochemistry, radiopharmaceutical development, and molecular imaging.

⚡ After more than one year of continuous operation, the platform has demonstrated stable performance, flexible multi-isotope capability, and strong value for research and practical training.

🤝 LBT continues to support research institutions and nuclear medicine centers with integrated solutions covering medical cyclotrons, target systems, and radiopharmaceutical production equipment.
