[ RadSafe ] in vitro RIA labs

[thskouras]

Dear radsafers

I need your opinion and experience.

1) Do you think that a regular nuclear medicine laboratory which uses only
ready for use in vitro RIA kits performs any kind of iodination?
As I know the iodination process is performed only at pharmaceutical
industries in order to produce  "ready to use RIA kits".
2) I would like to have your definition of the "iodination" term from the
radiochemical point of view.
3) From the practice (or legislation) in your countries, Do you believe that
a private in-vitro nuclear medicine lab which uses only "ready to use RIA
kits" can not by established at buildings which includes other offices or
flats or apartments.?
