Compact radio thin-layer chromatography scanner with the same NaI(Tl) scintillation detection chain as the standard radio-TLC instrument, in a reduced-footprint chassis. Designed for radiopharmacy and theranostic hot labs where bench depth is constrained — fits a 600 mm bench without overhanging the dispensing area. Motorised low-noise scan stage. USB / Ethernet to QC software for Eur.Ph. / USP <823> %RCP release, 21 CFR Part 11 audit trail.

| Validation | IQ / OQ / PQ protocols supplied; site PQ scheduled during install |
The right radio-TLC scanner for bench-depth-constrained hot labs
PET / SPECT satellite centres that receive labelled doses centrally but need on-site %RCP verification before injection. Compact chassis fits inside a small hot-lab fit-out — the satellite gets the same release-grade QC as the central radiopharmacy.
Stand-alone theranostic clinics dispensing Lu-177 DOTATATE / PSMA-617 in single-suite fit-outs — the radio-TLC release sits next to the dose calibrator on the same 600 mm bench without crowding the dispensing zone.
Teaching-hospital and research-radiopharmacy installations where the hot lab is a converted room with constrained bench depth. Compact instrument keeps the full release-grade QC capability within the room budget.
Departments that keep a backup radio-TLC scanner for instrument-down contingency — Slim chassis stores easily and slides into bench position when the primary instrument is in service.
Per-batch [18F]FDG and [18F]NaF release in compact PET-tracer pharmacies — same Eur.Ph. monograph thresholds, same release semantics, smaller bench footprint.
Daily cold-kit Tc-99m release (MDP, DMSA, MIBI, ECD, MAG3) in space-constrained nuclear-medicine departments — the compact chassis means the release-grade scanner fits on the existing bench without rebuilding the hot lab.
A standard hot-lab bench is typically 600 mm deep. The compact chassis sits within that depth without overhanging the dispensing zone — important when the dispensing technologist is working at the same bench. Full-size scanners typically need 700–800 mm and force a bench rebuild.
The detection chain — NaI(Tl) head, electronics, software — is shared with the full-size scanner. Methods written for one instrument run on the other. A site that grows from a Slim install into a full hot lab does not throw away its method library.
Compact footprint does not mean a stripped-down audit trail. The 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, the electronic-signature non-repudiation, and the method-versioning are the same as the full-size instrument — the release record meets the same AERB inspection expectation.
