MiniScanPRO TLC Scanner

Your MiniScanPRO TLC Scanner can be monitored via PC and even though the system is compatible with existing chromatography systems, a stand-alone usage is also possible. Variable scan speeds, easy set-up and maintenance as well as the wide range of available detectors are just some of the advantages of this system and guarantee the measurement of most established radioisotopes. Up to two PMT- or PIN diode-based detectors can be used at once. A calibration plate is available upon request.

MiniScanPRO is a versatile TLC scanner for the reliable detection of radioisotopes on narrow strips and plates. The system is ideal for routine quality control of  ⁶⁸Ga, ¹⁸F (including FDG), ^99mTc and ¹²³I radiopharmaceuticals as well as most others. MiniScanPRO has two independent channels, one for TLC and one for HPLC, which can be connected to any available detector option.

The TLC strip loaded with the sample is placed on a stage which moves under the fixed radiodetector to record the chromatogram. The second channel can be used for radiodetection in combination with all common HPLC systems. Depending on the nuclide, the optimal detector is selected from a variety of detectors. A combination of radiodetectors, both PIN diode and photomultiplier, etc. may be used for measurements of most radionuclides including ⁶⁸Ga, ¹⁸F, ¹²⁵I, ¹³¹I, ^99mTc, ⁹⁰Y, ¹⁷⁷Lu, ⁶⁴Cu and ¹¹¹In.

Several scan speeds allow detectors to measure a wide range of activities from 10 nCi to 100 μCi (370 Bq – 3.7 MBq) depending on the detector choice. Analog and digital signals are provided for interfacing MiniScanPRO with existing chromatography data systems. The included RaPET Chromatography Software can also be used for your data collection and report generation requirements.
