"Critical for patient care, some of the most effective radiopharmaceutical treatments are in limited supply," said SpectronRx President Anwer Rizvi. "On top of that, they are fragile and have extremely short half-lives. But thanks to this partnership with RLS, which is known for its ability to seamlessly deliver top-notch care to patients all over the country 24/7, 365 days a year through its large-scale network of manufacturing and distribution sites, patients and care providers will have reliable access without sacrificing quality or safety."

SpectronRx has three distinct specialties: Radiopharmaceutical Contract Development (rCDMO), Radiopharmaceutical Contract Manufacturing (rCMO), and Isotope Production. As a rCDMO, SpectronRx offers drug development, quality assurance (QA) and regulatory services that help pharmaceutical companies get their therapeutic and diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals from conception to FDA and EMA approval much more quickly. And once a drug is approved and being sold, companies turn to SpectronRx's rCMO services to maximize their margin. The company also produces and manufactures rare medical radioisotopes like actinium-225.


RLS, the nation's only accredited nuclear pharmacy group, owns and operates 31 radiopharmacies across 18 states, offering an extensive portfolio of molecular imaging products. The company endeavors to supply the highest quality radiopharmaceuticals in the industry by dispensing 100 percent of injectable unit dose products in clean rooms built to ISO 1644-1 specifications. In support of its commitment to quality, RLS provides tailored solutions and exceptional service to more than 1500 customers.
