TrisKem International

What TrisKem International does

TrisKem International is a privately held French specialty chemicals company that develops, manufactures, and distributes extraction chromatographic resins and related accessories for the radiochemistry and analytical chemistry markets. Its core technology consists of microspheric beads with very high surface area impregnated with organic extractants (including crown ethers, ionic liquids, chelating and solvating extractants), sold in column, cartridge, and disc formats. The portfolio of more than 40 resin products — AC, DGA, LN, SR, TEVA, TRU, UTEVA, ZR, and the proprietary TK100–TK400 series — enables selective separation of actinides, lanthanides, fission products, and other elements from environmental, medical, bioassay, irradiated target, decommissioning, and geochemistry sample matrices.

The company sells directly from its Rennes/Brittany headquarters and through an international distributor network, complemented by exclusive commercial agency agreements for third-party products (Raddec Pyrolyser systems for Europe ex-UK, Russia/CIS, Africa, Middle East; Meridian/Hidex LSC consumables). It also generates revenue from custom resin development and R&D partnership services with universities and research institutes (KAERI, University of Barcelona, LabCom TESMARAC joint laboratory, Eichrom Technologies). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers request quotes directly. ISO9000-certified, TrisKem is positioned as a standard-technology supplier to international accredited laboratories and monitoring agencies including IAEA, AREVA/Orano, IRSN, CEA, and BfS, serving four primary use cases: environmental monitoring and bioassay, radiopharmacy and nuclear medicine, decommissioning, and geochemistry and metals separation.

Revenue model

1. Extraction Chromatographic Resins and Accessories: TrisKem International's primary revenue stream comes from the development, manufacture, and sale of its proprietary extraction chromatographic resins (DGA Resin, SR Resin, TRU Resin, TEVA Resin, UTEVA Resin, TK series resins, and many others), columns, cartridges, accessories, and sample preparation products (NucFilm Discs, Zr Crucibles, autodeposition kits, Resolve Filters). The company sells directly and through distributors globally.
2. Distribution of Third-Party Consumables and Equipment: TrisKem distributes complementary products from other manufacturers including Raddec Pyrolyser systems (for Europe except UK, Russia/CIS, Africa, Middle-East), Meridian/Hidex LSC cocktails and vials (glass and HDPE vials of various sizes). Revenue is generated through resale/markup on distributed products.
3. Custom Resins and R&D Partnership Services: TrisKem offers customized resin development and R&D partnership services for customers with special separation needs or new technologies to commercialize. The company collaborates with universities and research centers (e.g., University of Barcelona for TK-SrScint, KAERI for TK227, LabCom TESMARAC) on joint product development.

Core offering

TrisKem International develops, manufactures, and markets proprietary extraction chromatographic resins and complementary ion exchange resins, columns, cartridges, accessories, and sample preparation products for the separation and determination of radionuclides and elements from environmental, medical, bioassay, irradiated target, waste, and decommissioning samples. The company also distributes Raddec Pyrolyser systems and Meridian/Hidex LSC consumables, and offers customized resin development and R&D partnership services for nuclear medicine, radiopharmacy, environmental monitoring, decommissioning, and geochemistry applications.

Product overview

TrisKem International is a platform provider of extraction chromatography solutions consisting of over 40 specialized resin products for radiochemistry and metals separation. The core product line comprises extraction chromatographic resins (AC, DGA, LN, SR, TEVA, TK-series, TRU, UTEVA, ZR, CL, CU, Ni, PB, RE, TBP, CS Resins) which combine liquid-liquid extraction selectivity with chromatography speed. These are complemented by ion exchange resins, sample preparation accessories (columns, cartridges, vacuum boxes, filters), specialty products (NucFilm Discs, Pyrolyser systems from Raddec), and LSC consumables. The products serve four main application domains: environmental monitoring & bioassay, radiopharmacy & nuclear medicine, decommissioning, and geochemistry & metals separation. The platform is used by international accredited laboratories and monitoring agencies (IAEA, IRSN, CEA, BfS) for radionuclide separation, quality control of medical isotopes, and isotope ratio determination.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Eichrom Technologies: Eichrom Technologies is the closest direct peer to TrisKem, manufacturing the same family of extraction chromatographic resins (DGA, TRU, TEVA, SR, UTEVA, actinide resins) used in radiochemical separations and referenced in TrisKem's own published methods. As the US-centric counterpart to TrisKem's European leadership, Eichrom is the most direct competitive and technology benchmark.

Broad incumbents

• Phenomenex: Phenomenex (part of Danaher's life sciences platform) manufactures solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges and chromatography consumables used in analytical sample preparation, including some radionuclide and metals workflows. While broader than TrisKem's nuclear focus, it competes for the same SPE/extraction chromatography wallet of analytical laboratories.
• Waters Corporation: Waters is a leading analytical instrument and separation consumables provider, with Oasis SPE products and chromatography columns widely used in radiochemistry, environmental, and pharmaceutical sample preparation. Comparable as a broad-incumbent separation-chemistry consumables supplier whose products overlap with TrisKem in sample-prep workflows.
• Agilent Technologies: Agilent offers Bond Elut SPE cartridges, ICP-MS consumables, and certified reference materials used alongside TrisKem resins in isotope ratio and trace metals analysis. Comparable as a broad analytical-chemistry consumables incumbent whose sample-prep portfolio overlaps in radiochemistry and geochemistry workflows.
• Bio-Rad Laboratories: Bio-Rad manufactures chromatography resins (e.g., UNOsphere, AG/MP, Chelex) used in life science and analytical separations, and is a long-established specialty resin producer. Comparable as a specialty resin manufacturer with broader life-science positioning and similar production-of-functional-resins expertise.
• Merck KGaA (MilliporeSigma / Sigma-Aldrich): MilliporeSigma is a global specialty chemicals giant whose Supelco SPE cartridges and analytical reagents compete for the same procurement budgets as TrisKem in radiochemistry and trace-metals labs. Comparable as a broad-incumbent specialty chemical and chromatography consumables supplier.
• Revvity (formerly PerkinElmer Life Sciences): Revvity supplies radiometric detectors, radiochemistry consumables, and nuclear medicine workflow products to radiopharmacies and analytical labs, overlapping with TrisKem's radiopharmacy and nuclear medicine customer base. Comparable as a broad-incumbent nuclear/analytical consumables and instrument provider.
• GE HealthCare: GE HealthCare is a major PET and SPECT radiopharmaceutical manufacturer and nuclear medicine equipment provider; TrisKem's purification and QC resins are used upstream in such radiopharma production workflows. Comparable as a broad-incumbent in the same radiopharmacy and nuclear medicine value chain.
• Lantheus Holdings: Lantheus is a publicly traded radiopharmaceutical company specializing in diagnostic imaging agents (e.g., technetium-based products) and increasingly therapeutic radioligands. Comparable as a broad-incumbent radiopharma player in the same nuclear medicine value chain where TrisKem's Tc/Ac/Lu purification resins are consumed.

Emerging players

• Curium Pharma: Curium is one of the largest global nuclear medicine manufacturers of diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals, including Lu-177 and other therapeutic isotopes. Comparable as an emerging customer/partner — and adjacent player — that uses TrisKem-type resins in its radionuclide purification workflows.
