Isotope Lab Facility (ILF)
Since 2007 the Isotope Lab Facility (ILF) is available to scientists of the Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) for research work with radioactive sources. The core unit, located on the 2nd floor of the Research Campus, is enabling a wide variety of experimental research using multiple nuclides in a spacious as well as technically well equipped environment. Associated operational areas complement the ILF excellent and offer excellent additional experimental possibilities. Since 2012, the area of 7Tesla-Magnetic-Resonance-Tomograph (7T-MRT) is authorized for handling of radioactive substances in collaboration with Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology.
Independent use of the ILF is possible after a radiation protection instruction. A scientist is always available for scientific expertise and individual questions.
