Established in 2001, Cyclotek is the largest private radiopharmaceutical company in Australia and New Zealand. We manufacture urgent and critical radiopharmaceuticals: sterile radioactive medicines used to diagnose and treat a range of cancers and to diagnose Alzheimer's disease, dementia and other serious conditions. These medicines expire within hours of manufacture. We produce them just in time, under the regulation of the Therapeutic Goods Administration, and dispatch them from the early hours of the morning to hospitals and clinics across Australia and New Zealand from our 11 sites.
Every dose depends on skilled people working with precision against the clock, and that includes the team that gets it out the door.
