Biotage open up new business area: Molecular Imaging
SPECT/CT and PET/CT are two Imaging modalities that are growing significantly. The processes used are technologically well aligned to Biotages core competences, synthesis, purification and evaporation, according to the company. The basic process requires the incorporation of minute amounts of short half life radio labeled compounds (tracers or imaging agents) into live subjects. Many of these tracers have to be synthesized. The faster they are produced, the more value can be ascribed to the outcome. Some in fact can only be synthesized using microwave heating, a field of expertise where Biotage has experience.
