A new automatic gamma counter specifically designed to meet the needs of modern Nuclear Medicine, PET and environmental laboratories.

With touchscreen interface and application focused design it guarantees effortless work flow and results simply at your fingertips.

Sophisticated radiation protection

3" NaI well type crystal provides superb counting efficiency and optimised lead shielding ensures low background and minimal interference from samples on the conveyor. Hidex Automatic Gamma Counter is also equipped with a powerful multichannel analyser for detailed spectrum analysis.

Convenience for Nuclear Medicine and PET

An optional onboard balance means samples can be weighed automatically and results reported as activity per mass or volume. This saves the operator valuable time and prevents transcription errors. For short lived isotopes there is an optional foot pedal for precise timing of the sampling. The software automatically calculates decay corrected activities. All results, raw data and calculated data are exported directly at the touch of a button.

Evaluating Cu-64 uptake in cells and tumors for Targeted Radionuclide Therapy

The emergence of theranostics offers a dual solution for both diagnosis and therapy using a specific radiopharmaceutical or pair of closely related radiopharmaceuticals, commonly known as a "theranostic pair". Ideally, these pairs have chemically identical structures labelled with either diagnostic or therapeutic radionuclides. Some radionuclides, such as 177Lu and 64Cu, exhibit unique characteristics that make them ideal candidates for theranostic applications.

The Hidex AMG has been used in a study by Metivier et al. at INSERM in Nantes to evaluate the 64Cu uptake by cells and tumors for both vizualisation and Targeted Radionuclide Therapy (TRT). INSERM is a French public research institute under the joint supervision of the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Research dedicated to medical research and human health.

The study required precise measurements of radioactivity, which the AMG achieved having been designed specifically to increase existing throughput in research facilities while still delivering high efficiencies. The counter not only facilitated the calculation of radioactivity in cells and supernatant but also played a crucial role in recording ex vivo biodistributions.

Quantifying radiolabelled CECs

Hidex instruments are being used by the University of Surrey’s Applied-RadioIsotope and Environmental Laboratory (ARIEL) to research and understand the fate and behaviour of contaminants of emerging concerns (CECs). CECs are pollutants such as domestic chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural runoff detected in bodies of water.

Lead by Dr. Maya Al Sid Cheikh, the research is specifically concerned with nanoplastics, which are ubiquitous in domestic products and discharged in large quantities from industrial processes and can have devastating impacts on biodiversity, ecosystems, and food chains. Maya and her team at ARIEL are trying to trace these from origin through to dispersion in the environment and living organisms to understand how long they persist by 14C radiolabeling.
