Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a dental implant apparatus that comprises an implant and an implant support that can be placed next to one another by means of contact surfaces and that have contours providing security against rotation that are integrally molded on in one piece, that have mutually matching contours providing security against rotation that prevent a rotation of the implant and the implant support in the state placed next to one another. The invention further relates to a tool system for carrying out such a method and furthermore to a dental implant apparatus that is manufactured in a corresponding manner.

Abstract: Radiation-sensitive material embedded in a disposable radiochemistry device gives the device the additional capability of recording radiation dose, for readout at a later time. There is provided a device comprising means for the introduction of a precursor compound, means for the introduction of a radionuclide, a reaction vessel for reacting said precursor compound and said suitable source of a radionuclide to obtain a radiolabelled compound, and one or more pieces of radiation-sensitive material embedded into said device wherein at least one of said pieces is positioned to be exposed to radioactivity associated with said radiolabelled compound.

Abstract: A system and method for measurement of radioactivity concentration of a radiopharmaceutical are disclosed. The radiopharmaceutical may be a radioactive tracer solution including a tracer solution and a buffer solution. The system may include a vial that receives the tracer solution and the buffer solution; a scale; a radioactivity measuring device; and a controller that determines the radioactive concentration based on a measured radioactivity of the tracer solution and the buffer solution in the vial, and a weight of the tracer solution and the buffer solution in the vial. The method may include the steps of (1) transferring the tracer solution into a vial; (2) measuring a radioactivity of the tracer solution in the vial; (3) determining a weight necessary to achieve a desired radioactivity concentration; and (4) diluting the tracer solution in the vial to the determined weight with a buffer solution.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for in-process integrity test of a filter. The method may comprise the steps of: coupling a gas source to an input side of a filter without removing the filter from a dispenser system, the gas source supplying a gas and controlling a pressure of the gas; coupling a tube to an output side of the filter, the tube being filled with a liquid; increasing the pressure while monitoring the tube, with a light beam, for a displacement of the liquid by one or more gas bubbles; and determining a value of the pressure at which the displacement of the liquid is detected.

Abstract: A microscale solution for conducting [18F]fluoride phase transfer and subsequent radiosynthesis of 2-[18F]FDG that eliminates the azeotropic drying process. [18F]fluoride phase transfer is performed using an inexpensive disposable microchip. Additionally, each subsequent each step may be performed on the same single microchip.
