With world class facilities and chemists having over 1,600 man-years' experience in radiosynthesis,  Quotient Bioresearch offers unparalleled resources for the custom synthesis of isotopically labelled compounds.

For Carbon-14 we offer the following Quality Services

  • Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP); Accredited by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)
  • GMP Guidelines; Similar to accredited GMP but with the flexibility to define your exact requirements. Provides more control to meet internal QA requirements for human studies

Types of Preparation

Most organic compounds including: aromatics, heterocyles, polymers, peptides and proteins, fermentations, volatile compounds, and chiral compounds.

Standard Quality Control Specifications

  • Mass spectrometry for structural analysis and for determining specific activity
  • TLC and HPLC for determining radiochemical purity 
  • 1H NMR for structural information 
  • Product specification sheet and analytical scans are provided for each preparation

Additional Extras
