Non-carrier-added GMP-grade Radiochemical for clinical and non-clinical research purposes
Non-carrier-added [177Lu]Lutetium Chloride solution in GMP grade for your research activities. The radiochemical solution is used for the preparation of radiolabeled compounds in the research context.
Key Features
Lutetium-177 is a β-emitter with a half-life of 6.65 days. It can be produced via two different routes, direct by irradiation of Lutetium-176 for carrier-added or indirect by irradiation of Ytterbium-176 for non-carrier-added form. Lutetium-177 decays by emission of beta radiation (β–: Emax= 498 keV) and gamma radiation (γ: 208 keV – 10.3 % abundance) to Hafnium-177.
Background
Lutetium-177 has become more and more important over the last years as a substance used in many new radiopharmaceuticals, especially for cancer therapy. In combination with diagnostic [68Ga]-based-agents it is now the main therapeutic nuclide for theranostic approaches such as with DOTA-conjugated compounds for binding on the prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA). A large number of further radiotherapeutic agents are currently under development for several types of cancer..
Method and specifications
Eckert & Ziegler offers Lutetium-177 in high quality non-carrier-added (n.c.a.) form. [177Lu]Lutetium Chloride Solution is produced by irradiation of [176Yb]Ytterbium and subsequent separation of [177Lu]Lutetium in our radiochemical facility. This process achieves highest purity.
