The 30th Latin American Biennial Congress of Biology and Nuclear Medicine (XXX ALASBIMN MEETING) was held from March 13 to 16, 2025, in Benito Juárez, Mexico, attracting over 40 companies from more than 20 countries and a total of over 600 professionals. As an emerging global manufacturer of medical cyclotrons, LBT made its debut in the Latin American market, bringing molecular imaging solutions from China to medical institutions, research institutes, and enterprises in the Western Hemisphere.
During the conference, LBT held a signing ceremony with the PSH Group of Guadalajara, Mexico, officially establishing a long-term partnership. This collaboration marks LBT's successful entry into the Latin American market and will inject new vitality into the local healthcare industry.
The signing ceremony was witnessed by Dr. Gisela Estrada, President of the Latin American Society of Biology and Nuclear Medicine. According to the agreement, LBT will provide the Guadalajara PSH Group with advanced cyclotron systems and related technical support for applications and popularization in the fields of molecular imaging and nuclear medicine. As a core device in nuclear medicine, cyclotrons can produce radiopharmaceuticals for disease diagnosis and treatment, which is of great significance for improving local medical standards.
LBT showcased three cyclotrons with different energy levels (7MeV, 11MeV, 20MeV), offering customized solutions for the production and distribution of radioisotopes to users in the Western Hemisphere. Among the three products, the LB-7 (7MeV) features a compact design, providing users with stable production of isotopes such as F-18, meeting the daily diagnostic needs of medical institutions for tumors and other major diseases. The LB-11 (11MeV) is designed for higher yields, a wider variety of nuclide production, and more flexible upgrade options, and can produce nuclides such as Ga-68, Cu-64, and Zr-89 when paired with LBT's self-developed solid target. The LB-20 (20MeV), with its superior production capacity and excellent cost-performance ratio, has attracted the attention of commercial users.
During the exhibition, LBT's booth welcomed clients from South American countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, and Peru; it also received clients from Central American countries including Ecuador, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Cuba. As the host country of this conference, Mexican hospitals and commercial clients showed strong interest in the cyclotron systems independently developed by LBT.
New connections are continuously being established. This time, bridging a 14-hour time difference, LBT brought advanced technology from the East to the Western Hemisphere, opening a new chapter in its Latin American strategy.
