Outline of Final Research Achievements

Automated synthesizer is necessary for translational research of PET tracers because it has advantages such as reproducibility production and workers exposure reduction. Most of the synthesizer is a high performance for clinical use, but is expensive. Therefore, we have designed a flexible module system at low cost for preclinical studies using commercially available servomotors for hobby robot kits. The system was realized to control plastic three-way valves, plastic syringes and I/O units for external devises. The layout of the modules were optimized for the synthesis of target tracers, and accomplished 4 tracers production. This flexible system can modify layout to suit the needs or preferences of the user. Therefore, the convenient system may help the research of the PET tracer development.
