VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ARTMS Products, Inc. announced today that it has been invited to present at the National Nuclear Security Administration’s 2018 Mo-99 Topical Meeting on Tuesday, September 25th and the Third International Symposium on Technetium and other Radiometals in Chemistry and Medicine on Thursday, September 27th.
Joel Kumlin will present at the 2018 Mo-99 Topical Meeting in Knoxville, TN, during Session 7, Production Projects and Technologies II, at 13:00EDT on September 25th.
Mr. Kumlin will be discussing progress on implementation of the ARTMS QUANTM Irradiation System™ for producing technetium-99m. The QIS™ combines local production control and a cost-effective, easy-to-use solid target system for the production of Tc-99m on most cyclotron systems. ARTMS recently announced that the QIS™ received CE mark approval and has been installed in a number of countries throughout the world.
ARTMS also announced that Dr. Paul Schaffer, CTO, has been invited to present at the Third International Symposium on Technetium and other Radiometals in Chemistry and Medicine in Bressanone, Italy during Scientific Session C at 15:35CEST on September 27th.
Dr. Schaffer will be discussing advances in QIS™ for producing high-value radioisotopes, such as Tc-99m, Ga-68, Zr-89 and Cu-64.
