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.
Claims19
An automated radiosynthesis device comprising:
- a plurality of fluidic connectors for removably attaching a disposable kit to said automated radiosynthesis device;
- automated attachment means for automated attachment to and removal from said automated radiosynthesis device of said disposable kit;
- a disconnector device comprising a rigid substantially planar body defining an aperture therethrough, the disconnector device rigidly attached to the automated attachment means such that movement of the disposable kit away from the from the automated radiosynthesis device disconnects at least one fluidic connector;
