Nuclear medicine research space is located on the basement and first floor of the Woodruff Memorial Research Building, which is attached to Emory University Hospital. There are approximately 1,000 sq. ft. of laboratory research space which contains all necessary equipment standard for synthetic chemistry, radiolabeling and production of radiotracers. It includes five six-foot fume hoods, one three-foot fume hood, and one biological safety cabinet, two refrigerators and two freezers ,three Buchi rotary evaporators, gravity convection oven, vacuum oven, microscope, melting point apparatus, and four infusion pumps.
Major equipment in our laboratory includes the Perkin Elmer 1480 WIZARD2 gamma counter designed for superior counting performance with all types of samples. It can accommodate both I-131 and Tc-99m (or F-18) simultaneously, two Lablogic HPLC systems which are each dedicated to radiochemical separations and equipped with model 170 radiometric detectors, UV/VIS detectors and a C-18 RP Beckman Ultrasphere ODS 5 mm column (4.6 mm x 250 mm); both use Flowram chromatography software.
