Best 30p Cyclotron

A cost effective cyclotron system for both PET and SPECT imaging compounds

The Best 30 UPGRADEABLE (B30u) has all the features of the B25p but may be upgraded to a B35p when the user requires additional capability.  The key upgrade feature is that the maximum energy of the B30u as delivered is 30 MeV.  This provides about twice the amount of radioisotope that the B25p delivers.  A production facility based on the B30u is designed to allow modifications for the upgrade to the B35p.
