Racing the Clock: Contamination Control, Release, and Supply in Radiopharmaceuticals
PDA Midwest PRESENTS A PROGRAM DEDICATED TO ADVANCING CONTAMINATION CONTROL STRATEGIES IN RADIOPHARMACEUTICALS
The PDA Midwest Chapter is excited to prepare for Racing the Clock: Contamination Control, Release, and Supply in Radiopharmaceuticals, an event focused on the radiopharmaceutical industry’s contamination control strategies and best practices.
In radiopharmaceuticals, the clock never stops. With half-lives measured in hours or even minutes, every step is a race: securing the isotope, manufacturing aseptically, and releasing product before it decays.
This one-day program brings together industry experts to discuss three critical areas. Speakers will cover how the isotope supply chain is scaling to meet growing demand. They will address aseptic processing and contamination control inside hot cells and isolators. They will also explore how to test and release short half-life products when results may arrive after the dose is administered.
The day closes with a panel discussion and audience Q&A, followed by a networking reception with golf at Topgolf. Professionals in radiopharmaceutical manufacturing, quality, microbiology, contamination control, supply chain and regulatory roles will benefit, and students and early career professionals are welcome.
