Welcome!
The Radiopharmaceutical Analytics and Specimen Research (RASR) Lab was founded within the UWCCC Initiative for Theranostics and Particle Therapy (ITPT) with the aim of being a one stop shop for radioactive sample analysis and storage. The mission of the RASR Lab is to provide next generation in-vivo metabolism and biological assessment of new radiopharmaceuticals in clinical and preclinical studies. The facility houses a suite of state-of-the-art analytical instruments dedicated for use with radioactive biospecimens. We offer any array of regulatory and technicial services for our users.
RASR is a BSL2 facility and does not accept BSL3 samples.
