It features a multi-year purification campaign where QSA Global will process legacy Ra-226 on behalf of NorthStar, transforming the material into high-purity precursors that will directly feed continuous target capsule manufacturing. Following irradiation and processing by NorthStar to produce n.c.a. Ac-225, the recovered radium will be returned to QSA Global for recycling into new targets\u2014establishing a highly efficient, closed-loop supply chain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis multi-year agreement with QSA Global strengthens our supply chain with a reliable, high-quality supply of Ra-226 targets critical to our n.c.a. Ac-225 production capabilities,\u201d said Dr. Frank Scholz, President &amp; CEO of NorthStar. \u201cBy ensuring consistent access to these vital starting materials, we can confidently meet growing demand within the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy managing the complex, highly regulated lifecycle of radium-226, QSA Global enables partners like NorthStar to focus their resources entirely on commercial Actinium-225 production,\u201d said Joe Lapinskas, Innovation Director at QSA Global, Inc. \u201cWe are proud to leverage our decades of high-activity radioactive materials expertise to help secure this critical supply chain and support NorthStar\u2019s mission of delivering life-saving TATs to patients.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"QSA Global Inc., a supplier of specialized radioactive source manufacturing and medical radiochemical services, and NorthStar Medical Radioisotopes,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":670229,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,450,451,3,452,453],"class_list":["post-670228","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670228","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=670228"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670228\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/670229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=670228"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=670228"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=670228"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
