Cambridge Isotope Laboratories Completes 18O Plant Expansion to 250 Kg Per Year.Business Editors/Health/Medical Writers ANDOVER, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 16, 2003 Boston based Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, the world's largest stable isotope company, has completed the expansion of its Oxygen-18 distillation facility at its site in Xenia, Ohio. The expanded plant produces 250 Kg per year of 18O used for the production of FDG FDG Fluorodeoxyglucose FDG Fundação de Desenvolvimento Gerencial FDG Franchise Development Group FDG Function Dependence Graph FDG Fraud Detection Group FDG Functional Dependency Gate FDG Front des Gaulois FDG Falling Down Giggling in the PET industry and in other medical research. The plant is expected to be fully compliant with cGMP in the first quarter of 2004, and will be the only fully cGMP compliant plant in the world. The plant is designed to distill dis·till v. 1.
