ViTrax has extensive experience in preparing a wide range of tritiated products. We regularly handle a variety of compounds including, but not limited to, typical small molecule drugs,
peptides, proteins, polymers, nucleosides, nucleotides, and oligonucleotides.
 Our project scope ranges from single-step, straight forward synthesis to
multistep, sensitive macromolecules. We are accustomed to handling minute quantities of precious
materials and understand their value to our customers.
ViTrax respects the confidentiality commonly associated with custom contract
synthesis. We welcome written confidentiality agreements and can assist by providing a standard boiler
plate agreement if you so choose.

| Tritium Incorporation |
| |
The following are the more common techniques available for introducing tritium into
your target molecule. |
| |
- Catalytic Reduction with Tritium Gas
- Reduction with Sodium Borohydride, [3H]
- Reduction with Lithium Aluminum Hydride, [3H]
- Catalytic exchange with Tritium Gas
- Anion quench with Tritiated Water
- Alkylation with Methyl Iodide, [3H]
|
| Product Purification |
| |
Most tritiated intermediates and final products are typically purified by Semi-Prep or
preparative HPLC methods. TLC, Paper Chromatography, low pressure columns and other wet techniques are also
applied in custom cases. |
| |
| Product Analysis |
| |
Final product analysis requiring more than the typical HPLC
radiotrace should be discussed during the quote request process. ViTrax can provide a
full analytical package including any of the following applications: |
| |
- HPLC Radioflow analysis
- HPLC with monochromatic UV or PDA analysis
- TLC Radioscan
- T-NMR
- HPLC-MS
|
| |
| Packaging |
| |
As the stability of a product is dependent upon its storage method
and rate of use, the manner in which it is packaged is an important consideration. Packaging
solvent and the number of units required should be discussed during the quote request process. |
| |
| Shipping |
| |
All final products are shipped overnight on dry or wet ice. |
| |
| Pricing |
| |
Costs are assessed based upon all of the above items and can vary widely.
