Radiolabelled compounds production programme in India

The paper highlights our experience of more than four decades of research gained and expertise attained in the production of various radiolabelled compounds. An active programme for the production of various classes of compounds labelled with radioisotopes like 14 C, 3 H, 35 S, 32 P, 33 P and 125 I by well-standardized procedures is going on in the country. Recent trends show an increasing demand for the custom-synthesis of various labelled compounds, especially those labelled with 14 C.
