Conventional Cyclotron and B-100 Biomarker Generator Facility Comparison
With a smaller footprint, lower cost and compact size, the B-100 Biomarker Generator offers unparalleled advantages when compared to conventional cyclotrons.
| Biomarker Generator | Conventional Cyclotron | |
|---|---|---|
| PET LAB FOOTPRINT | 300 FT2 | 4,000 FT2 |
| weight | 24 tons | 50 tons |
| personnel | 1 fte | 4 fte |
| operating expenses | $150k/yr. | $600k/yr. |
| repetitive production cycle | 30 min. | 3 hours |
The integrated B-100 Biomarker Generator requires significantly less facility space than conventional cyclotrons, as demonstrated in the figure below.
The B-100 produces PET biomarkers and radioisotopes on demand. An integrated solution, the B-100 encompasses an entire PET production lab in a 300 square feet (30 sq meter) room.
