A remote system has been constructed for the preparation of 11 C‐glucose via photosynthesis. The system is totally contained in a shielded hood, with all manipulations done from the outside. This system is capable of routine delivery of 25–50 mCi of 11 C‐glucose which has a radiochemical purity >95% and is sterile and pyrogen free. The design, construction and operation of this system are fully described.
