14C Radiolabelling

Understanding how a molecule is absorbed, distributed, metabolised and excreted is a critical part of drug development. Generating radiolabelled materials to support these studies often presents significant scientific and technical challenges, particularly when complex structures, limited starting materials or demanding timelines are involved.

At Almac Sciences, we combine specialist radiochemistry expertise with integrated analytical, quality and manufacturing capabilities to deliver robust radiolabelling solutions. From early development through to GMP manufacture, we help customers overcome the synthetic and regulatory challenges associated with producing high-quality radiolabelled materials.

Whether supporting human ADME studies, metabolite investigation or the development of labelled peptides and bioconjugates, our teams work collaboratively to identify practical solutions that meet programme objectives while maintaining quality, compliance and delivery expectations. The service includes non-GMP and GMP radiolabelling, metabolite synthesis, peptide and bioconjugate labelling, supported by integrated analytical, QC and QA expertise.

We are MHRA certified for  14C manufacture and GMP compliance and we are fully equipped to deliver an industry-leading, cost-effective radiolabelling service.

Our strong track record in providing a complete suite of custom Radiolabelling solutions include:

  • Biology & fermentation expertise
  • QC & analytical support
  • Stability studies & storage advice
  • GMP & non-GMP stable & 14C-labelled API synthesise
  • QC & analytical support selectAZymeTM enzymes for selective and mild transformation
  • Labelled metabolites
  • Storage & repurification

Our highly skilled team are enabled to offer custom radiolabelling services within a dedicated controlled access GMP facility using validated quality-critical equipment including:

  • NMR and mass spectroscopy
  • Cyclone Radio-TLC scanner
  • Stromboli KF equipment
  • Multiple Agilent HPLCs with radioflow, UV and fluorescence detection
  • Tri-Carb 2900, 4900 and Topcount 12 channel scintillation analysers
  • 2-8°C, -20°C and -80°C fridges and freezers
  • Agilent GC
  • 3, 5, and 6 point analytical balances
  • X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD)
