Evaluation kit
DuraRad is a protective inner-wall coating for radiopharmaceutical vials. This evaluation kit lets your team run it against your own drug product, with your own methods, on your own timeline. Supply is limited and hand-made, so we reserve it for the teams that move first.
Research-use-only, non-GMP prototype vials. Hand-made, may not be sterile, not for human or clinical use. Kit is 24 coated plus 24 matched control empty vials, a batch test report, and an experimental-design brochure. You supply the drug product. No radioactive material is shipped.
What's in the box
Each kit ships as a designed carton with everything a formulation team needs to set up a clean, controlled comparison.

24 DuraRad-coated vials
Pharmaceutical glass vials whose inner wall carries the DuraRad sol-gel coating with immobilized catalase and manganese superoxide dismutase. Available in 6R and 10R formats, each with a FluroTec-coated butyl rubber stopper and an aluminum overseal with a flip-off cap.
24 matched uncoated controls
The same glass, stopper, and seal, uncoated and identical across the coated and control arms, so your comparison isolates the coating. A matched control set makes experimental setup straightforward.
Batch test report
Batch-specific cold-test enzyme-activity results for the coated vials in your kit, so you know what you received before you begin.
Experimental-design brochure
A suggested design for a feasibility and benefit study, from the comparison arms to the endpoints worth reading, including recovery and residual activity in the vial, so your team can start from a sound protocol.
Choose 6R or 10R to match your program. Vials ship empty; we confirm the format and fill volume fit before we allocate, so the coated wall is wetted for a valid coated-versus-control comparison.
What you're buying
DuraRad evaluation kits are research-use-only prototypes for evaluating our protective vial coating with your own drug product, in your own lab.
You fill the vials with your own drug product. No radioactive material is shipped. The full terms are in the DuraRad Evaluation Kit Agreement, which accompanies your kit details.
What it's for
The cold-bench measurement is the measured input behind every modeled curve on this site, and the radioactive validation study will test whether it holds under live decay. But the question a formulation team ultimately needs answered is narrower and more specific: what does the coating do for this drug product, in this formulation, over this shelf life. That is a question only your bench can answer, with your analytical methods.
The evaluation kit exists so you can answer it directly. Fill the coated vials and the matched controls with your product, run your own stability and quality methods side by side, and read the difference in your own data.
New to DuraRad? See the modeled effect, or start with the problem it solves.
Run the analytics you already trust on your own drug product and on what is in your fill, including leachables, extractables, enzyme activity, and recovery and residual activity in the vial.
Matched coated and uncoated vials from the same components isolate the coating so the result is attributable, not confounded.
No radioactive material is shipped and nothing about the kit changes your fill process. You evaluate on your own timeline.
Two ways in
Most teams want to try DuraRad with no strings attached. Some want to go further and help shape it. Both are welcome, and they are deliberately kept separate.
No strings
Reserve a kit, run your own evaluation, and keep all of your data. The agreement is lightweight and friendly: it protects our not-yet-commercialized coating from reverse engineering, and asks nothing of your results. You owe us no data and no feedback.
Governed by the DuraRad Evaluation Kit Agreement, provided with your details.
Collaborate
For teams who want to actively collaborate and share evaluation data back with us to help develop DuraRad for their class of product. This runs under a material transfer agreement and a closer working relationship.
Why reserve now
DuraRad is still made by hand, in small batches, so the earliest supply is genuinely scarce. As we scale up we expect to open access more broadly, but the first kits are reserved for teams that reserve early.
The advantage of moving first is an earlier answer: what the coating does for your product, in time to inform your container-closure decision and your own program timeline.
Coated in limited numbers per batch. Early supply is prioritized to the teams that reserve first.
Run your own feasibility and benefit study sooner, and fold the result into your container-closure decision on your own timeline.
We cannot promise shipment earlier than Q1 2027, though fulfillment may begin as early as Q4 2026. Reserving now holds your place.
How it works
Reserving is lightweight by design: easy to say yes to, and still protective of the technology. Here is the whole path.
Reserve
Tell us who you are and what you want to evaluate. Reserving holds your place at no charge: we confirm every allocation personally, and no payment is due until we confirm your batch.
Other ways to engage
The evaluation kit is the fastest way to your own data. If you are earlier in the conversation, there are lighter first steps.
