GABI Nova Radio-HPLC Flow Detector — Radiochemical-Purity Release Across SPECT + PET

Online radioactivity flow detector for radio-HPLC radiopharmaceutical QC. Swap-in scintillator probe options match the isotope energy — Tc-99m at 140 keV, F-18 / Ga-68 at 511 keV, Lu-177 at 113 / 208 keV. Lead-castle background shielding. Adjustable flow-cell volumes for different activities and flow rates. Eur.Ph. / USP <823> %RCP release on the HPLC chromatogram, 21 CFR Part 11 audit trail.

Key Features

  • Online radioactivity flow detection — continuous radio-HPLC chromatogram, not offline batch counts
  • Swap-in scintillator probe options match isotope energy: low (Tc-99m / I-131), medium (Lu-177), high (F-18 / Ga-68 / Cu-64)
  • PMT and digital detection front-ends — sensitivity-vs-dynamic-range trade-off configured per site
  • Adjustable flow-cell volumes — pick the cell that matches batch activity, HPLC flow rate and resolution requirement
  • Lead-castle background shielding configurable to the bench layout; protects against adjacent hot-lab activity

Applications

Continuous radio-HPLC — the radiochemical-purity gold standard for the daily hot lab

Radiochemical-purity gold standard

Radio-HPLC is the gold-standard radiochemical-purity method for radiopharmaceutical release — continuous radioactivity chromatogram identifies free radionuclide, intended product and impurity peaks in a single 10–20 min run. Eur.Ph. monographs cite the radio-HPLC method explicitly for several radiopharmaceuticals.

F-18 PET tracer release

Per-batch [18F]FDG, [18F]NaF and emerging F-18 tracer release — radio-HPLC %RCP against the Eur.Ph. monograph threshold before despatch to the imaging room. High-energy probe captures the 511 keV annihilation line at HPLC flow rates.

Ga-68 PET tracer release

Per-batch Ga-68 DOTATATE / DOTATOC / PSMA-11 release from the generator-fed labelling rig — radio-HPLC catches Ga-68 colloid and uncomplexed Ga-68 that radio-TLC may not resolve at the same threshold.

Lu-177 theranostic QC

Per-batch Lu-177 DOTATATE, PSMA-617 and FAPI release — radio-HPLC complements the radio-TLC %RCP for the theranostic release record. NETTER / VISION-aligned QC programmes use both methods.

Investigator-initiated work

Investigator-initiated novel-chelator work, method development and stability studies — adjustable cell volume + swap-in probe means one instrument across a research-radiopharmacy programme.

Routine batch release

21 CFR Part 11 audit trail with electronic signatures and per-method versioning supports per-batch release documentation under AERB inspection and external GMP audit.

Why GABI Nova?

Online
Real-time chromatogram

Unlike offline TLC, radio-HPLC produces a continuous radioactivity chromatogram alongside the UV / PDA trace. Free radionuclide, intended product and impurities are resolved in one 10–20 min run — the release decision and the impurity profile come off the same chromatogram.

Multi-probe
One instrument, all isotopes

A swap-in scintillator probe matches the isotope energy band. Tc-99m, F-18, Ga-68, Lu-177 and Cu-64 are all read on the same instrument with the appropriate probe — capital investment scales across the full radiopharmacy isotope panel without an instrument swap.

21 CFR 11
Inspection-ready audit

GMP / GLP design and 21 CFR Part 11 audit-trail compliance make the release record acceptable to AERB inspection and external GMP audit. Electronic signatures, method versioning, override capture — all retained per batch.
