FLEX™ Dispensing Hot Cell Cyclotron PET + Lu-177 Dispensing Isolator

The dispensing isolator built for the cyclotron radiopharmacy. F-18 PET tracers — FDG, NaF, F-DOPA, PSMA-1007 — handled in the same Grade A shielded enclosure that takes Lu-177 theranostic doses when your programme expands. Configured to the 100 mm Pb shielding that Indian cyclotron sites need.

Key Features

  • Designed for cyclotron PET radiopharmacy — F-18 FDG, NaF, F-DOPA, PSMA-1007 dispensing
  • Lu-177 theranostic dispensing in the same isolator — DOTATATE and PSMA-617 dose preparation
  • 100 mm Pb shielding configuration for Indian cyclotron sites (Saxsons-supplied)
  • GMP Grade A shielded isolator — vertical laminar flow across the working area
  • Designed against EU GMP Annex 3 (radiopharmaceuticals) and Annex 1 (sterile, revised 2022)

Applications

Cyclotron PET first — Lu-177 ready when you scale

F-18 PET tracer unit-dose dispensing

Routine FDG, NaF, F-DOPA and PSMA-1007 unit doses dispensed from cyclotron-produced bulk into patient syringes under Grade A conditions. The µ DDS-A option scales the workflow as PET volumes grow.

Lu-177 theranostic dispensing

When the centre adds Lu-177 PRRT (DOTATATE) or Lu-177 PSMA, the same isolator handles the higher-activity therapy preparation — 100 mm Pb shielding plus the Grade A barrier was sized for it.

Cyclotron-site radiopharmacy

Built for the cyclotron + hot-cell + dispenser + QC workflow defined by EU GMP Annex 3, where dispensing into sterile vials and syringes is the Grade A step that follows synthesis and QC release.

EU GMP Annex 1 / Annex 3 compliance

Annex 3 covers cyclotron radiopharmaceutical manufacturing; Annex 1 (revised 2022) requires Grade A inside the isolator with a documented Contamination Control Strategy. FLEX is positioned for both.

LIMS / data integrity (Annex 11)

The touch-screen control panel and remote teleassistance support fit the audit-trail / ALCOA+ data-integrity expectations of EU GMP Annex 11 and 21 CFR Part 11. The LIMS integration is owned by the site's LIMS vendor (the manufacturer does not publish a turnkey LIMS module).

India — AERB cyclotron facility path

Configured to the 100 mm Pb shielding that Indian cyclotron sites typically specify under the AERB Regulatory Requirements for Medical Cyclotron Facility (2017). Saxsons handles AERB import documentation end-to-end.

Why FLEX for the cyclotron?

100 mm Pb
India cyclotron-site configuration

Indian cyclotron radiopharmacies typically specify 100 mm Pb shielding for the dispensing isolator. The manufacturer configures the FLEX accordingly for the Indian market — the manufacturer baseline is 75 mm; the India-spec build is 100 mm all sides, supplied by Saxsons.

F-18 + Lu
PET today, theranostic tomorrow

F-18 PET volume is what fills the calendar today. Lu-177 PRRT and PSMA programmes are where the next decade of growth lives. The FLEX handles both — same isolator, same Grade A barrier, no second capital purchase when the programme scales.

Annex 3 + 1
The right GMP frame

Annex 3 is the radiopharmaceutical GMP; Annex 1 (revised 2022) is the sterile-processing standard the dispensing step has to clear. FLEX is designed against both at once — Grade A inside the isolator, closed-system dispensing, audit-trail-friendly controls.
