Izotop Ltd.

Founded in 1959, the Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences began to produce radioactive isotopes in 1964. It then became a major Hungarien centre for the research, development and production of radioisotopes. With effect from 1993 a part of the former Institute has been operating as the Institute of Isotopes Co., Ltd.

The company is divided into five business units:	Radiopharmaceutical
	Immunoassay
	Molecular Biology
	Synthetise
	Radiation Techniques

Our company's main activities comprise radioisotope techniques relating to handling and formulation of all types of radioisotopes produced in nuclear reactors. Application of radionuclides takes place mostly in medical practice and life sciences.
Within this activity we can offer a wide range of immunoassay kits e.g. RIA and IRMA kits mainly to hospitals. The broad range - RIA / IRMA, EIA / ELISA - of immunoassay products can be categorised according to the separation method used, such as magnetic immunosorbent (MIS), coated tube (CT) and micro-titre plate, as well as non-solid phase assays. The group of tumor markers consists of assays for 5 different analytes. Thyroid assays represent the largest part of our immunoassay palette. Our company offers a great number of well-established endocrinological assays for measuring analytes such as SHBG, C-peptide, LH and PRL. We continuously developing the ELISA formats of our RIA / IRMA assays. Immunoassay kits for research purposes are represented by a comprehensive range of prostanoid RIAs.
The radiopharmaceutical production provides wide range of products for diagnosis and therapy using the isotopes: 131I, 125I, 201Tl, 153Sm, 90Y. Our packaging ensures maximal radiation protection and optimal conditions for use. We produce and sell radiochemicals for labelling purposes and raw materials for radiopharmaceuticals of other producers or end-users made of isotopes 125I, 32P, 35S
Cold kits labelled with 99mTc radionuclide completely meet the clinical requirement for the study of renal - DMSA, DTPA, EC - for bone-scintigraphy and palliative treatment of painful bone metastases - MULTIBONE, MDP - for examination of the liver- and hepatobiliary system - FYTON, TECHIDA - for bloodpool-scintigraphy PYRON, GLUKON.
A very important line of products are the nucleotides labelled with 32P, 33P, 35S.
Above the 14C or 3H labelled organic compounds the custom synthesis of labelled with 14C and 3H radioisotopes as a service is offered for pharmaceutical companies and research labs.
Within the scope of our industrial activity we can offer 192Ir and 60Co radiation sources.
Design and production of radiation technology equipment and complete facilities - including auxiliary systems - are also carried out at IZOTOP.
