Radiopharmaceutical Synthesizer Market

Introduction

Radiopharmaceutical synthesizers make pharmaceutical products which contain small amounts of radioisotopes by irradiating a specific target which are found inside a nuclear research reactor or in a particle accelerator. Once these radioisotopes are produced, they are tagged on certain molecules based on biological capabilities which result in radiopharmaceuticals. As with any medical or pharmaceutical product, radiopharmaceuticals are required be produced under carefully controlled conditions and are subject to stringent tests for their quality before they are made commercially available.

More than 100 radiopharmaceuticals have been developed, using radioisotopes which were either produced through nuclear reactors or particle accelerators. Radiopharmaceuticals are used to diagnose various medical problems like cardiac anomalies or neurological conditions and are also used to treat certain conditions such as cancers.

In 2018, the United States FDA and nuclear regulatory authority took steps in order to ensure the supply of a critical radioisotope which is used as an image tracer to detect life threatening diseases. The FDA approved NorthStar Medical Radioisotopes’ RadioGenix system, which is a unique system used for producing molybdenum-99 (Mo-99), a medical radioisotope.
