What Eckert & Ziegler Isotope Products, Inc. does

Eckert & Ziegler Isotope Products, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Germany's Eckert & Ziegler Strahlen- und Medizintechnik AG and manufactures radioactive sealed sources used for the calibration, quality control and performance verification of medical imaging systems. The product portfolio centers on PET and SPECT calibration sources (including Ge-68 and Co-57 flood sources), phantoms, and accessories, with proprietary encapsulation technology branded as Perflexion and proprietary flood-source chemistry branded as ProKase. The company also markets the Pb Shipper radioactive-source transport container and complementary accessories under sub-brands such as FeatherLite and ProKem.

The company's customer base is structurally bifurcated. On the OEM side, it is described as the only manufacturer qualified to supply sealed calibration sources to all major medical imaging equipment makers — Siemens Healthineers, GE Healthcare, Philips, Canon Medical and United Imaging — embedding its sources into the global installed base of PET and SPECT scanners. On the end-user side, the company supplies nuclear-medicine departments and imaging centers, with stated reach into thousands of hospitals worldwide. Distribution is supported by a multi-jurisdiction footprint (Valencia CA, Burbank CA, Braunschweig Germany, Courtaboeuf France) and digital reference tools including a Decay Chart Generator.

The business model is B2B with two revenue streams: long-cycle, qualification-driven OEM supply contracts that ship sources integrated with new imaging equipment, and recurring aftermarket replacement sales to hospitals driven by the periodic half-life-based replacement of radioactive calibration sources. Revenue is generated primarily through unit sales of sealed radioactive sources and accessories, with pricing reflecting the regulatory cost of licensing, transport and decay-managed inventory rather than a software or subscription model. Geographic regulatory licensing (NRC and IAEA transport rules, plus country-specific radiopharmaceutical and radioactive-source permits) is a defining cost-of-revenue and barrier-to-entry factor in the model.

Revenue model

1. Radioactive Source Products: One-time sale of radioactive sealed sources (PET, SPECT, Co-57 flood sources, attenuation correction sources) for quality control and calibration of medical imaging equipment. Sources are sold with recommended working lives (2 to 15 years depending on nuclide and capsule type).
2. Source Shielding & Accessories: Sale of complementary products including ProKase storage cases, Pb Shipper return boxes, Perflexion shield tubes, flood source carrying cases, and phantom shields. These are sold alongside primary sources and as standalone replacement items.
3. Source Return / Disposal Services: Take-back service for spent nuclear medicine sources. Within North America, one-for-one disposal is offered when an equivalent replacement source is purchased. International shipments incur a disposal fee. FedEx digital waybill process is used for compliant Class 7 radioactive material shipments.
4. Custom / OEM Source Manufacturing: Custom-manufactured sources for specific OEM specifications or non-standard modalities, sold as one-time products with customization fees.
