As a Class II nuclear facility licensed by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, we can produce and handle a wide range of isotopes. We have the capacity to expand our production to fit our users’ needs.

Specialized radiochemical and radioanalytical workstations allow for the synthesis, separation, purification, and characterization of radiolabelled compounds. Environmentally controlled clean space is available for developing radiotracers in conditions compliant with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).

We have the advanced facilities and available workstation time to meet the needs of innovators in the medical isotope and pharmaceutical industry. Researchers can conduct in vitro and in vivo studies at our labs.

We also have a cell culture lab, a nearby veterinary medicine hospital, small animal SPECT/CT and PET/CT equipment and radiation counters for alpha, beta and gamma emitters.

We hold a Drug Establishment License (DEL) issued by Health Canada to produce fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) as a marketed drug product.

We have resources to support the development of new imaging probes and radiopharmaceuticals as required. Once a technology achieves a certain level, we can provide  contract manufacturing services on a regular basis. This means industrial and academic researchers can advance, and often commercialize, new products and technologies with practical support from our Cyclotron Facility and staff members.

The BioPETx detector—first of its kind in Canada—is used to study plants and soil under various conditions and detect responses to stressors such as drought, infections, and insect infestations. Growth chambers are available to control environmental conditions and safely house dosed plants.

Fedoruk Centre qualified staff members are happy to teach your team the ins and outs of the cutting-edge equipment available to you. We can train additional staff who are newly using a workstation to make sure all users understand how to operate the equipment. We do this at no charge to your project.

Our workstations include specialized equipment such as HPLC, GC, hot cells, synthesizers, radioTLC, SPECT/PET/CT, optical imagers and contamination monitors, all accessible through a user-access agreement. For specific research projects, we can arrange staff members to provide direct support services.
