TR-30 Cyclotrons

30 MeV variable energy negative ion cyclotron for the production of commonly used SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) radioisotopes; I-123, Tl-201, In-111; therapy radioisotopes such as Pd-103; and research isotopes.

Matching Power to Power

Facilities take up property space, capital investment, maintenance and operation cost. Competitor commercial cyclotrons reliably operate at up to 500μA, the TR-30 operates at 1200μA! What impact does this have on your facility costs?

Features of the TR-30

>1000 microamps Total Beam Current 
TR-30 is the first commercial cyclotron to exceeds >1000 microamps in the field.  

Variable Energy Extraction 
TR-30 offers variable energy extraction between 15 MeV to 30 MeV.  

Simultaneous Dual Target Irradiation 
Allows for maximum production of one radioisotope or concurrent production of two different radioisotopes.

External Beam Lines 
Up to 9 external beam lines can be configured on the TR-30 cyclotron.

Dual Particle Acceleration 
TR-30 can be configured to a TR-30/15 dual particle cyclotron to accelerate both protons and deuterons. This provides a powerful research tool in addition to cost effective production.  

Proven Reliability 
TR-30 cyclotrons have the lowest downtime of any commercial cyclotrons in the world. MDS Nordion’s TR-30 has been operating for 10 years, 7 days per week, 24 hours per day and only requires downtime for routine maintenance.  

Windows OS 
TR-30 uses the familiar Windows operating system with graphical representations of the entire radiochemical process.  

Safety Systems 
Extensive safety features have been incorporated into the TR-30. Internal and external safety interlock systems are built into the Computer Control System using visual and audible warning signals.
