Customer Challenge

Build a cGMP Tc-99m Generator Production Line, with terminal sterilization and 100% in-line QC testing (elution constancy, ⁹⁹Mo breakthrough, calibration).

Performance Requirements – NCBJ Polatom

• Batch size: 250 generators, two batches per week
• Maximum batch activity of Mo-99:1,000 Ci on the date of production
• Batch production time: approx. 10 hours, by 4-5 operators

Solution Highlights

Semi-automatic line for the Tc-99m generator production in GMP. The plant allows the loading from B(U) of the 99Mo bulk, the formulation and adjustment of the chemical parameters of the solution, the loading of the 99Mo in the generator column, the autoclave sterilization of the columns, the semi-automatic assembly and the 100% QC verification of each generator. The line is therefore equipped with a series of progressive-shielding chambers able to keep safe all the plant interlocking operations, from the high-activity bulk loading to the final washing and QC operations. The double pass-through autoclave allows a transfer of the loaded columns with a one-way transfer of the material for an optimal process flow.
