Ionetix to provide Bayer with Therapeutic Radioisotope Actinium-225 (Ac-225)
“We recognized the emerging demand and made the early investment to develop a commercial-scale production solution for Ac-225 using our expertise in cyclotron accelerator and target technology,” said David Eve, VP of Medical Affairs for Ionetix Corporation. Located in Lansing, Michigan, Ionetix has established a new isotope production facility that is dedicated to manufacturing alpha-emitters. The first cyclotron was commissioned at the facility earlier this year and installation of a second cyclotron is planned for 2024. Both cyclotrons will be used to produce alpha-emitters, providing both onsite redundancy and increased capacity to scale output. Distribution of GMP grade, n.c.a. Ac-225 will begin in early 2024.
