Four models of cyclotrons are offered:

• TR-19 (14 MeV to 19 MeV) variable energy negative ion cyclotrons
• TR-24 (15 to 24 MeV) high current cyclotron used for the production of PET and SPECT isotopes; including one machine installed at the Université de Sherbrooke,{{cn|date=September 2023}}
• TR-FLEX (18 MeV up to 30 MeV) high current cyclotron used for PET and SPECT isotopes.{{Citation needed|date=August 2022}}
• TR-30 (15 MeV to 30 MeV) high current cyclotron used for SPECT isotopes.
