bSCAN

Radio-TLC scanner with NaI(Tl) detector and built-in MCA

Compact instrument for thin-layer radio-chromatography (radio-TLC), an established method for fast quality control of radiopharmaceuticals in nuclear medicine laboratories. A lead-shielded NaI(Tl) detector with exchangeable collimators is moved across the chromatogram strip, and the built-in MCA also provides an energy spectrum with nuclide identification, so that both radiochemical and radionuclidic purity can be analysed with one instrument.

Detector type

Spectrum channels
Up to 4,096 (PHA and MCS)2
