Keywords: | 68Ge;68Ga;Generator;Radiochemical separation;Selective volatilization;Anion exchange chromatography | Issue Date: | 2011 | Publisher: | Elsevier | Abstract: | Cyclotron-produced 68Ge can be separated from its Ga target material by dissolving the target in aqua regia and collecting the volatile 68Ge in a solution containing 1.0 M NaOH and 2% Na2SO3. The solution is then acidified with HF before being loaded onto a column containing AG MP-1 anion exchange resin. The column is rinsed with dilute HF to remove any remaining impurities, before eluting the desired product with 0.1 M HCl. A radiochemically pure product is obtained. | URI: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.apradiso.2011.01.028 http://hdl.handle.net/11189/4430 |
