What they do

Problem

The global supply chain for critical reactor-produced medical isotopes like Molybdenum-99 is fragile and constrained by aging foreign reactors, limiting nuclear medicine procedures and cancer therapies.

Solution

Atomic Alchemy is building a bank of reactors to reliably produce reactor-based isotopes used in radiopharmaceuticals for imaging, tracers, and cancer treatment.

Who it's for

Radiopharmaceutical manufacturers, hospitals, and nuclear medicine providers that need dependable medical isotope supply.
