ARTMS Inc. (ARTMS) is pleased to announce the production of zirconium-89 (89Zr) oxalate using a low energy medical cyclotron in a US based commercial nuclear pharmacy. The production yielded in excess of 40 millicuries of 89Zr after a 60 minute, low activity irradiation of ARTMS’ yttrium-89 solid target. ARTMS’ QUANTM Irradiation System (QIS™) enables commercial nuclear pharmacies to produce 89Zr locally and relieve the reliance on centrally produced isotopes. ARTMS is focused on increasing access to high quality and high yield key isotopes like zirconium-89, gallium-68 and copper-64 with other isotopes in development.
With a focus on
optimizing production potential, ARTMS will continue the development of
cyclotron-produced 89Zr and other vitally important medical
isotopes, while also pursuing multiple regulatory approvals.
