✦ Synopsis

A robotic system for radioiodination of proteins has been developed by Merck, Sharp & Dohme Research Laboratories and Zymark Corporation. The robot radioiodinates the protein of interest, separates the free from the bound '*'I, makes appropriate dilutions so that the free and bound peaks can be located using a y counter and performs a complete clean-up after the procedure. The robot runs unattended during the iodination procedure so that operator exposure is minimized. Operator time and attention is also reduced.
