Abstract: An AC/DC converter comprising a set of two rectifying bridges, each rectifying bridge comprising a first output connected to an output terminal of the AC/DC converter by an interphase inductor. The interphase inductor may comprise a magnetic circuit comprising two branches that are substantially parallel and two windings, each winding being wound about one branch selected from the two branches. Each winding may be held away from the magnetic circuit, at every point of the winding, by means of a set of at least one holding block made of a material having an A-scale Shore hardness lower than or equal to 50 and being distant at every point from the branches.

Abstract: An AC/DC converter includes an input of the AC/DC converter, the converter being intended to receive an input three-phase AC voltage and to convert it into a DC voltage, the AC/DC converter comprising a transformer intended to receive the input three-phase AC voltage and to deliver two output three-phase AC voltages via two respective secondaries, the converter comprising a set of two rectifying bridges, each secondary being connected to the input of one of the two rectifying bridges of the set, each rectifying bridge of the set of rectifying bridges comprising a first output connected to an output terminal of the AC/DC converter by an interphase inductor (I), the interphase inductor (I) comprising a magnetic circuit comprising two branches (B1, B2) that are substantially parallel and two windings, each winding being wound about one branch selected from the two branches (B1, B2) and being held away from the magnetic circuit, at every point of the winding, by means of a set of at least one holding block made o

Abstract: A pierce and fill connector cap for a vial sealed by an elastomeric septum includes a vial collar and a needle holder. The vial collar body defines a collar aperture to be positioned in overlying registry with the septum of the vial, and the needle holder includes a needle holder body providing a means for holding an elongate needle in registry with the collar aperture. The needle holder body being moveable with respect to said vial collar between a first position spaced from the vial collar and a second position proximate the vial collar, such that a needle held by the needle holder will puncture through the vial septum.

Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods to facilitate replacement between runs of a kit or cassette from an automated radiosynthesis device located in a hot cell. The method and apparatus of the invention enable automated disconnection of the outlet line by sealing the tubing hermetically by means of heat and by cutting the tubing where it is sealed in such a way that there is no risk of environmental contamination with radioactive material. The invention enables disconnection of the outlet line without manual intervention before opening the shielded enclosure.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system for the production of a radiopharmaceutical including a radiosynthesis apparatus and a disposable cassette. The system of the invention includes a device that enables a position on the cassette to be freed for inclusion of an additional reagent vial. With the system of the invention a broader range of radiochemical syntheses can be envisaged using the cassette.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an automated radiosynthesis device adapted for enhanced automatic disconnection of a disposable kit once a radiosynthesis has been carried out. The automated radiosynthesis device of the invention therefore reduces the time to remove the disposable kit from the radiosynthesis device and reduces radiation exposure to the operator.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an automated radiosynthesis device adapted for the addition of multiple additional components. The automated radiosynthesis device of the invention enables a wider range of radiochemical synthetic processes to be carried out in an automated fashion.
