In a nutshell
The starting material for technetium-99m (Tc-99m) generators. Tc-99m is perhaps the most important isotope in nuclear medicine. Doctors and hospitals use it to diagnose life-threatening diseases, such as cancer. Some 49 million nuclear drug investigations are conducted annually, and Tc-99m is used in more than 80% of these treatments.
The largest supplier of radioactive lutetium-177 worldwide. For the treatment of prostate cancer and neuroendocrine tumors.
FIELD-LAB
The future of medical isotopes in diagnosis and treatment. Supports the development of new nuclear medicines within a unique nuclear infrastructure. Promises the delivery of promising medical services.
The largest area of application of iridium-192 is gynecology, for example for the treatment of cervical cancer.
Some of our success stories
In 2017, there was suddenly a worldwide shortage of iodine-125, used for brachytherapy for prostate cancer, because one of the large producers was temporarily shut down. McMaster & NRG joined forces for global supply.
Producing medical isotopes using only low enriched uranium? After a challenging design process, Curium and NRG are the first in Europe to produce molybdenum-99 with low enriched uranium. Recognizing the commitments made during the Nuclear Summit 2014, to phase out high enriched uranium (HEU) based medical isotopes.
A complex project has been brought to a successful conclusion: the development and installation of a production process for xenon-133 gas.
CISSPECT DESK-LAB represents a great leap forward for the development of radiopharmaceuticals and personalised drug discovery. Recently, we have developed the world’s first fully automated synthesis module, CISSPECT DESK-LAB, for the synthesis of Pt-195m cisplatin and other platinum compounds

Publications
FIELD-LAB is the incubator for new nuclear medicines. Together with partners Field-LAB Developt new nuclear medicines for personalised treatment of cancer patients.
Despite many innovative developments in nuclear medicine, bringing the nuclear end product to the physician and thus the patient, remains a long-term and (therefore) often frustrating mission. Hopefully, this will not be the case any longer, according to physicist dr. Mark Konijnenberg of the department Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, Erasmus MC in Rotterdam.
