Tc-99m is generated by NorthStar’s novel RadioGenix ® System (technetium Tc-99m generator) which uses U.S.-produced, non-uranium based molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) as its source material.

Tc-99m is generated by NorthStar’s novel RadioGenix ® System (technetium Tc 99m generator) which uses U.S.-produced, non-uranium based molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) as its source material.

Neutrons produced in the generator then hit molybdenum, which in turn decays to Tc-99m and Tc-101. The resulting material is contacted with activated carbon to isolate the technetium isotopes from the ...

Tc-99m is generated by NorthStar’s novel RadioGenix® System (technetium Tc 99m generator) which uses U.S.-produced, non-uranium based molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) as its source material.

The goal of the Generator Project is to develop a novel prototype generator utilizing Perma-Fix's microporous resin to produce molybdenum-derived Tc-99m, test the chemical and radionuclide ...

As the molybdenum inside the generator decays, it produces a steady stream of technetium-99m that can be “milked” from the device.

About Perma-Fix Medical Perma-Fix Medical is a subsidiary of Perma-Fix Environmental Services Inc., a NASDAQ listed company. It was formed to develop, obtain FDA and other regulatory approval and ...

NorthStar Medical Radioisotopes Gets FDA and NRC Approval for Technetium-99m Generator ...

Alternatively, the BWXT Tc-99m generator will be produced from natural molybdenum targets irradiated at a commercial power reactor, greatly reducing complex waste by-products.

As a radioactive tracer, technetium-99m is used in nuclear medicine medical imaging procedures. It has a six-hour half-life and does not last long in the body or in the atmosphere. Tc-99m is primarily ...

They will be used for the production of non-uranium based Mo-99, which enables NorthStar’s FDA-approved and commercially available RadioGenix® System (technetium Tc 99m generator) to produce Tc-99m in ...
