miniGITA Single Single-Detector Radio-TLC Scanner for Daily Radiochemical-Purity Release

Bench-top single-detector radio thin-layer chromatography scanner. NaI(Tl) scintillation detection across the full radiopharmacy isotope panel — Tc-99m, F-18, Ga-68, Lu-177, I-131 and Cu-64. Motorised low-noise scan stage. USB / Ethernet to QC software running on a Windows workstation — peak detection, Eur.Ph. / USP <823> %RCP calculation, 21 CFR Part 11 audit trail. The daily radiochemical-purity release instrument for the hot lab.

Key Features

  • Single NaI(Tl) scintillation detector head — full radiopharmacy gamma-energy range covered without an isotope swap
  • Motorised low-noise scan stage with redesigned drive — bench operation does not interrupt aseptic dispensing alongside
  • Standard TLC / ITLC strip support (50 mm and 100 mm travel ranges, narrow + wide strip widths)
  • Lead collimator / shielding insert reduces background from adjacent activity on the bench
  • USB or Ethernet to a Windows QC workstation; multi-instrument sessions supported on one workstation

  • Lead collimator / shielding insert reduces background from adjacent activity on the bench
  • USB or Ethernet to a Windows QC workstation; multi-instrument sessions supported on one workstation
  • QC software computes peak areas and %RCP per Eur.Ph. monograph + USP <823> general chapter
  • Per-isotope method library — Tc-99m, F-18, Ga-68, Lu-177, I-131, Cu-64 — and per-product method versioning
  • 21 CFR Part 11 compliant audit trail — every method change, every release, every operator signature timestamped
  • AERB hot-lab QC fit: licensed-isotope manipulation, sealed-source friendly, no separate licence for the instrument itself
  • Compatible with the radio-HPLC release workflow when chromatographic separation is required for impurity quantitation
  • Documentation: datasheet, IQ / OQ / PQ protocols, calibration certificate, 21 CFR Part 11 validation evidence

Applications

Daily radiochemical-purity release — Tc, F, Ga, Lu, I, Cu, in one instrument

Tc-99m kit release

Daily release of cold-kit Tc-99m radiopharmaceuticals — MDP, DMSA, MIBI, ECD, MAG3 — %RCP against the monograph threshold before the morning patient list. Two-strip ITLC method, 2–3 min per release.

F-18 PET tracer release

Per-batch [18F]FDG, [18F]NaF and other F-18 tracer release — radiochemical purity above the Eur.Ph. monograph limit before despatch to the imaging room.

Ga-68 PET tracer release

Per-batch Ga-68 DOTATATE / DOTATOC / PSMA-11 release from the generator-fed labelling rig — %RCP > 95 % gating the patient injection.

Lu-177 theranostic QC

Per-batch Lu-177 DOTATATE, PSMA-617 and FAPI release — %RCP ≥ 99 % per the labelling chemistry expectation, paired with the dose calibrator activity figure on the batch record.

I-131 capsule + solution QC

Sealed I-131 capsule and oral-solution batch QC against the Eur.Ph. monograph — chemical and radiochemical purity verified before dispense to the therapy room.

IIP / investigator-initiated

Investigator-initiated radiopharmaceutical work — novel chelator + Lu-177 / Ga-68 / Cu-64 labelling — uses the same instrument with a custom method, separately versioned in the software.

Why miniGITA Single?

NaI(Tl)
Detector chemistry

A NaI(Tl) scintillation head spans the entire nuclear-medicine gamma range from the 140 keV Tc-99m photopeak to the 511 keV F-18 / Ga-68 annihilation line and the Lu-177 113 / 208 keV emissions. One detector, one calibration, every isotope the hot lab handles.

%RCP
Released against monograph

QC software computes peak areas, derives %RCP, and compares against the monograph threshold per isotope. The operator sees PASS / FAIL against the threshold; the audit trail captures every release, signature and override.

21 CFR 11
Audit-trail-ready

AERB inspection looks for the chain: who released which batch against which monograph. The instrument software ships 21 CFR Part 11 compliant — every method version, every release record, every operator signature is timestamped and retained.
