Hi,
I am looking for a commercial or collaborative source of 64Cu for PET imaging as we cannot produce it locally. I used to get it from Cambridge but they seem to be phasing out the production... any other potential source?
Cheers,
Rv
OK thanks, but I am not aware of KCL producing 64Cu, I think they were getting it from Cambridge too...

As far as I know, there are several suppliers/collaborators available around Europe.
Depends what quality and specific activity you need.
for example:

B-level Radiochemical Laboratory
Radioactive isotopes produced on the 20 MeV cyclotron of the ATOMKI are chemically separated from the irradiated targets in the B-level Radiochemical Laboratory. From these radioisotopes radiopharmaceuticals can be synthesized for diagnostic (PET: 11C, 61Cu, 64Cu, 76Br, 124I; SPECT: 123I, 111In) and therapeutic (103Pd, 131Cs, 165Er, 169Yb, 186Re, 209,210At) applications. Part of these labeled compounds can be used also for agricultural investigations and animal diagnostics.
In the laboratory we also perform catalytic and corrosion investigations as well as analysis of radioactive water samples. The laboratory is equipped with instruments and devices as well as sterile rooms for the above works.
The B-level Radiochemical Laboratory is part of the ATOMKI Cyclotron Laboratory.
