MAP Medical Technologies Inc. is a private, research oriented high-tech company, which produces radiopharmaceuticals for both diagnostic and therapeutical purposes. MAP has one nuclear reactor and one high-energy cyclotron at its disposal for research and production. The new production plant was completed in 1992, which was specially designed to fulfil the highest new requirements and standards for production and products. High-energy machines, like the new K130-cyclotron in the University of Jyvaeskylae, have a great potential for producing some special radioisotopes. Thus a solid target station for radioisotope production was planned into the new accelerator laboratory in collaboration between the Department of Physics (JYFL) and MAP. The target station is designed for high-energy intensive light-ion beams delivered from the K130-cyclotron.
