A US drug discovery company has found a single instrument that meets all its requirements for radio TLC scanning and radio HPLC detection - the dual-system Scan-RAM 1B from Lablogic Systems.
The company uses its configuration of Scan/Flow-RAM/Agilent for QC purposes, detecting mainly F-18 and I-111 in its small animal imaging laboratory, which has extensive facilities for SPECT/CT, PET/CT, MRI and bioluminescence, among others.
The scanner can be configured with two detectors simultaneously and, by fitting in a small hood with the Agilent HPLC system that the company acquired at the same time, it saves valuable bench space.
Both the scanner and the Laura radiochromatography software that controls it are GLP/GMP compliant.
Other advantages are the instrument's USB ports for fast data transfer, instrument and HV control and responsive after-sales support from Lablogic.
