High specific activity 186Re and 188Re perrhenates to be used for biomolecule labeling

  • 1. Institute of Atomic Physics, Bucharest (Romania)

Description

186Re and 188Re, two strong beta- and weak gamma-emitters having short half-lives, are intensely studied as promising radionuclides for radiotherapy. Their use for biomolecule labeling is mainly due to their similar behavior with 99mTc. Irradiation operations in a 14 MW Triga SSR Reactor, the chemical processing for obtaining a perrhenate solution of high activity and the final characterization of the products are presented.
