The North Carolina pharmacies in Charlotte and Kernersville (near Winston Salem and Greensboro) and South Carolina locations in Greenville, Spartanburg and Duncan provide nuclear diagnostics products in unit doses for individual patients. Shertech also provides prescription services to more than 175,000 patients annually and logs more than a million miles per year to ensure their time sensitive products are delivered when the customer needs them. The full gamut of nuclear pharmacy services such as high quality radiopharmaceuticals, clinical information, radiation safety services, training and waste disposal are just part of the high level of service found throughout the Shertech Pharmacy system. Their specialty certification in pharmacy along with their "clean room" compounding facilities offers numerous potential benefits and significant value to patients and health care professionals. The expectations of their nuclear pharmacists are to always provide unequivocal results. Shertech Charlotte will offer Daxor's Blood Volume Analysis test utilizing the Daxor BVA-100 to hospitals such as Presbyterian Main, Presbyterian Matthews, and Presbyterian Huntersville.
