Radiation oncology firm TeamBest has announced an agreement to acquire ABT Molecular Imaging (ABT), a Knoxville, TN-based cyclotron manufacturing company.
ABT Molecular Imaging will bring new cyclotron expertise to TeamBest, particularly in making smaller cyclotrons and in automated chemistry. ABT's BG-75 Biomarker Generator is smaller and easier to install and operate than most conventional systems. TeamBest has formed a new company, Best ABT, to make the acquisition
Another TeamBest firm, Best Cyclotron Systems (BCS), already offers a wide array of cyclotrons ranging from 15 MeV to 70 MeV. A fully functioning Best 70-MeV cyclotron has been successfully installed in Legnaro, Italy. BCS is currently installing several other cyclotrons in various countries worldwide.
