    摘要: Methods and systems are provided for cyclical enrichment, especially of rare earth elements and isotopes. A tube, or ampule, optionally with one crucible, or with two coaxially opposite crucibles in fluid communication, is used to hold a source material in vacuum and irradiate the source material to enrich it with product material. Following the irradiation of the source substance (e.g., Yb, enriched with 176Yb) to yield the product substance (e.g., 177Lu), the mixture may be sublimated to remove most of the source substance and concentrate the product material, e.g., by heating the lower part and cooling the upper part of the tube, to condense sublimated source material at the top of the tube. Consecutively, the concentrated product substance may be purified, while the solidified source structure may be reused in irradiation/sublimation cycles to further enrich and concentrate the product material.

    摘要: The present invention relates to assemblies and method for obtaining a container comprising 212Pb on the walls obtained from a 212Pb precursor isotope source. The invention provides an improved system and method for producing 212Pb in high purity without the need for processing, with high yields, and which safely and efficiently can be transported to the locations where it is to be used.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are rubidium elution systems comprising a primary assembly including a 82Sr/82Rb generator, an activity detector, a waste container, a pump system, a sensor, a tubing circuit, at least one valve, and a computer; and a dose calibrator outside the primary assembly. The system may have an interface for configuring the dose calibrator, and a locking means for preventing access to the interface and reconfigurations of its parameters. Moreover, the dose calibrator may be in electronic communication with the computer of the system. Furthermore, the electronic communication can be embodied with an electronic cable having a breakaway connector. Also, the dose calibrator may be positioned on a mobile platform.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates in general to nuclear medicine and generators for the production of radiopharmaceuticals for medical use. In particular, present disclosure relates to a generator column that resists high heat such as depyrogenation and sterilization. This allows some steps of the preparation of the column to be performed in a non-sterile environment. This also allows the generator column to be reusable. The present disclosure further describes methods for the preparation of a generator where a parent radioisotope is charged on the column matrix before or after the matrix is loaded in the column.
