WERNER SIEMENS IMAGING CENTER

Our facility is equipped with clean room laboratories (class C) for GMP production of radiopharmaceuticals with 10 synthesis hot cells containing various automated synthesizers and 2 isolators (class A). Storage of materials is provided in a class D clean room. For quality control we run laboratories where 5 high-performance liquid chromatography systems, 2 gas chromatography systems with mass spectrometer and flame ionization detector, a phosphor imager, a high-performance gamma spectrometer, an endotoxin test device, sterile filter integrity test, 2 pH meters and an osmometer are included... Further, we have a technical compartment with two compressing systems for radioactive gas waste storage and a central gas supply station (for the gases nitrogen, argon, helium and hydrogen)... The Department of Preclinical Imaging and Radiopharmacy is one of five Departments within the Radiology at the University Hospital Tübingen (UKT).
