WASHINGTON, Oct. 29, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ASP Isotopes Inc. (NASDAQ:ASPI) (“ASPI”, the “Company”, “us”, “we” or “our”), a sophisticated supplies firm devoted to the event of know-how and processes designed to supply isotopes to be used in a number of industries, at present introduced that it has entered right into a strategic relationship with PET Labs for the manufacturing and distribution of medical isotopes.
PET Labs is a South African radiopharmaceutical operations firm devoted to nuclear drugs and the science of radiopharmaceutical manufacturing. PET Labs focuses on the manufacturing of fluorinated radioisotopes and energetic pharmaceutical elements. PET Labs at the moment operates a single cyclotron in Pretoria, South Africa.
As a part of the connection, the businesses anticipate including two new cyclotrons in South Africa – one in Pretoria and one in Cape Town. The two cyclotrons, which GE Healthcare will provide, are anticipated to be able to addressing the medical radioisotope wants of South Africa, in addition to sure neighboring nations. The cyclotrons are anticipated to be financed by third-party debt financing preparations. The main goal of the connection is to increase into frontier markets the place there may be an undersupply of radioisotopes utilized in medical imaging.
Paul Mann, Chairman and CEO of ASP Isotopes Inc. said, “This strategic relationship with PET Labs will help both companies grow over the next several years, ensuring a stable supply of PET and SPECT radioisotopes to the Southern African and developing world markets.”
Dr. Kemp, CEO of PET Labs, added, “The technical advancements of PET imaging in various diagnostics applications and the rising demand for the production of new PET radiopharmaceuticals are expected to drive market growth. The increasing shift towards image-guided interventions is further propelling the growth of the PET scanning market globally.”
Sophie Le Cordeur, Field Marketing Manager, EMEA-Emerging Markets of GE Healthcare, said, “There is a clear need for additional radioisotope production capability in Sub-Saharan Africa and we look forward to working with ASP Isotopes and PET Labs to bring new treatments to patients in frontier markets.”
