Best 35p Cyclotron

 
The Best 35p is a 35 MeV proton cyclotron.  It is designed to produce radioisotopes using the (p,2n) or the (p,3n) reaction.  There is a broad range of single photon emitters that are used in nuclear diagnostic imaging and therapy that are accessible in this energy domain.  TeamBest® will partner with the end user to create a facility that will satisfy the end user's requirements and provide some of TeamBest's radioisotope supply requirements.  Both solid and gas target systems can be added to the Best 35p system.
 

External Production Targets

The cyclotron is supplied with high current solid target stations and high current gas target stations.
