Knowledge Hub · KARL100™
KARL100 spans the boundary that usually defines two pieces of equipment in a nuclear-medicine department — the radiopharmacy dispenser on one side, the patient-side injector on the other. One Class A dispensing environment, seven supported isotopes from F-18 PET to Ra-223 alpha therapy, and a 1 kg shielded mini-injector that carries each dose to the injection room. 200 sites worldwide. This page explains what that bridge actually unlocks.
Where KARL100 sits
Step 1
Multi-dose vial
Bulk radiopharmaceutical product enters the hot lab
Step 2
KARL100
Class A dispenser draws individual patient doses into shielded mini-injectors
Step 3
Mini-injector
Light 1 kg shielded carrier travels to the injection room
Step 4
Patient
Same device performs the infusion at the patient bedside
Why this matters
Seven isotopes, one Class A box
KARL100 is multi-tracer compatible — 18F, 11C, 68Ga and 64Cu for PET diagnostics; 177Lu, 90Y and 223Ra for radionuclide therapy / theranostics. A centre running both diagnostic PET and therapy on the same site doesn't need two parallel dispensing chains.

Read source ↗Class A dispensing environment
Per the manufacturer, the KARL100 dispensing environment is Class A — the cleanroom class the European pharmaceutical rules expect for aseptic radiopharmaceutical preparation. Individual patient doses are drawn from multi-dose vials inside that Class A shield.

Read source ↗1 kg portable mini-injectors
KARL100 outputs portable shielded mini-injectors that weigh about 1 kg. Light enough for the technologist to carry to each injection room, shielded enough to keep the dose safe. The centralised dispenser scales out into the rooms via mini-injectors rather than via more central machines.

Read source ↗Multiple infusions in parallel
Once a mini-injector leaves the hot lab, the central KARL100 is free to dispense the next patient's dose. Multiple infusions can run in different rooms at the same time, served by one central Class A device.

Read source ↗Hot-lab + injection-room bridge
KARL100 is the device that dispenses AND administers. The radiopharmacist sees its hot-lab side, the technologist sees its bedside side. The product is engineered to span the team boundary that usually means two pieces of equipment with two calibration chains.

Read source ↗200 units worldwide
(the manufacturer )publishes 200 KARL100 installations globally — including a landmark install at Chedis Mahmoudi Hospital, a major PET centre in Northern Africa. For an Indian buyer evaluating multi-tracer dispensing, this is not a first-of-its-kind procurement.

Scope of this page
The KARL100 public product page publishes the seven-isotope list, the Class A environment claim, the 1 kg mini-injector weight and the 200-units-installed figure. Detailed shielding thickness, dose-volume range, machine footprint and software / DICOM integration are not on the open page — confirm via the brochure (URL exposed in resources) or the karl100.com microsite. Tc-99m is not on the published isotope list; confirm with (the manufacturer )before assuming SPECT compatibility. the manufacturer marketing language uses "Class A" but does not cite a specific GMP / CE / IEC certification number on this page.
Manufacturer product page, the dedicated karl100.com microsite, the brochure PDF and the manufacturer Vimeo product demo.
