| The Radioisotope Center was founded in May of 1987. The center is equipped
with fundamental facilities needed to perform tracer experiments using
eight species of radioactive compounds that had been approved to be used
in the center by the government agency, namely, compounds containing 45-Ca,
125-I, 32-P, 33-P, 35-S, 59-Fe, 3-H and 14-C, as of November 2002. Research
projects cover physical, chemical and biological sciences and other scientific
fields related to the improvement of the quality of human life. Faculty
members and students are encouraged to utilize the facilities in the center
for advancing their fundamental and applied research once they fulfill
the following conditions. One is to finish a special education program
related to radioisotopes and to obtain a certificate. The other is to have
a health check before one uses radioisotopes and to be approved as an authorized
user of the center. |
