Ion source + production Platform
capable of producing
40+ ISOTOPES
& up to
12 simultaneously
Nusano’s patented, breakthrough particle beam technology generates heavy ions (He++ & 2H+) on a scale orders of magnitude greater than any existing comparable source. This enables the production of a broad array of radioisotopes for medical and industrial applications.
Nusano’s ion source is paired with a linear accelerator to create the production platform. Heavy particles are created in the source, and focused into a linear accelerator. A series of magnets direct the particles to one of 12 targets at the end of the beam line. When they collide with the target material, a radioisotope is created.

Learn how the Nusano’s patented technology creates alpha ions at unprecedented volumes
The Nusano platform is capable of generating up to 12 different isotopes simultaneously – a giant leap forward – enabling commercial-scale production of radioisotopes for life sciences and industrial applications.
Powered by a patented ion source, the Nusano production platform enables the simultaneous production of a wide variety of radioisotopes at unprecedented quantities.
ION SOURCE + LINEAR ACCELERATOR
Radioisotope production begins within Nusano’s patented ion source.
Here, heavy ions are created at rates hundreds of times greater than existing commercial systems and focused into a linear accelerator.
TRAVEL & DIRECTION
Pulses of highly accelerated ions leave the linear accelerator and are directed through a series of magnets as a beam.
ISOTOPE CREATION
Highly charged particles travel down the beam line to one of 12 targets. When the particles collide with the target material nucleus, a radioisotope is created.
Scalable production supporting multiple product lines
Rapidly adaptable platform to support emerging therapeutics needs and industrial applications
Production flexibility enables efficient, cost-effective operations
purification
Separation technology
Radioisotopes must be separated from starting material and other elements to become high purity, viable products. Nusano’s proprietary separation processes enable high volume, high purity (CGMP) production.
