Design a device that will automate the synthesis of radiopharmaceuticals in a more efficient and less error-prone way than by hand.

Project Overview

Such a device should be able to automate the process of synthesizing a radiopharmaceutical, down to the agitation and elution of the solution while it is being either photolysed with LEDs or heated with a heating jacket, and then finally filter out the final product while separating the byproduct.
