Abstract: Production systems for producing a radioactive drug product include a hot cell having a radiation isolating shielding and a dispensing unit positioned within the hot cell. The dispensing unit includes a manipulator arm for manipulating a closure component of a vial. The system further includes a pneumatic line extending from the manipulator arm and through the radiation isolating shielding to a location outside of the hot cell and a pressure sensor connected to the pneumatic line and positioned outside of the radiation isolating shielding. The pressure sensor is operable to detect air pressure within the pneumatic line.

Abstract: A system for assaying a sample for Molybdenum-99 content includes an inner ionization chamber including a well configured to receive the sample, an outer ionization chamber concentric with the inner ionization chamber, attenuating material positioned in the well, and a computing device. The computing device is configured to determine a first Molybdenum-99 content value of the sample based on a first current measured in the inner ionization chamber, determine a second Molybdenum-99 content value of the sample based on a second current measured in the outer ionization chamber, and determine a final Molybdenum-99 content value based on the first and second Molybdenum-99 content values.
