Description

The most recent state-of-the-art version of the /sup 195m/Hg→/sup 195m/Au generator is briefly discussed. Improvement of generator performance, particularly of elution yield, has been achieved by the introduction of columns containing a gradient-packed sorbent, by terminal sterilization of the columns in buffered sodium thiosulfate eluant, and by temperature variations during elutions. High loading of the generations (up to 450 mCi of /sup 195m/Hg) makes this generator usable for at least 3 days, even after longer (<24-hr) transportation times
