Beyond the bustling city center lies Gaogeng, home to Chengdu Gaotong Isotope Co. Ltd. CNGT stands as a beacon of high-tech innovation. It focuses on isotope technology for medicine, industry, and scientific advancement.
CNGT is no ordinary company. It is a core subsidiary of the China Isotope & Radiation Corporation Co., Ltd. (CIRC). CIRC itself is a holding subsidiary. The China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) owns CIRC. That makes CNGT part of the largest nuclear enterprise in China. It deals with research, development, manufacture, distribution, and service. All this focuses on nuclear products.
Let’s delve deeper into Gaogeng’s CNGT. Its headquarters reside in Chengdu’s High-tech Zone. From here, CNGT manages an impressive network. This network includes 4 wholly-owned subsidiaries. There are also 2 branches and 4 joint-stock subsidiaries.
CNGT has big ambitions. It aims to become an international leader. It wants to be a top supplier of radionuclide and radioactive sources. To achieve this, CNGT operates two specialized R&D bases. One focuses on sealed radioactive resources. The other dedicates itself to medical radiopharmaceuticals.
CNGT divides its operations into two core segments. The first involves medical applications. The second focuses on industry isotope applications.
As the largest R&D and production base for sealed radioactive sources in China, CNGT possesses impressive capabilities. It runs two million Curie professional radioactive source production lines. These lines create a comprehensive range of sealed radioactive source products. These products include Cobalt-60, Iridium-192, Selenium-75, and Cesium-137. CNGT also offers customized, non-standard sealed radioactive sources.
In the realm of medical radiopharmaceuticals and radiochemical preparations, CNGT holds a vital position. It researches, produces, and supplies over 20 kinds of radiopharmaceuticals. Among these are iodine-[131I]. Also included are gel-type molybdenum and technetium [99Mo-99mTc] generators. Additionally, CNGT provides o-iodine [131I] sodium Hippurate injection. They also offer strontium chloride [89Sr] injection.
But CNGT’s commitment extends beyond just production. They offer one-stop services. These cover the entire lifecycle of radioactive sources. This includes research and development. It also covers production, use, transportation, and decommissioning. Gaogeng’s CNGT truly plays a crucial role.
