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.
