Creators

Description

This patent describes a method of producing a rhenium-188 radionuclide generator. It comprises irradiating a water soluble irradiation target selected from the group consisting of sodium tungstate and lithium tungstate, reacting the irradiated target with an aqueous zirconium solution to obtain an insoluble zirconium tungstate gel, and disposing the zirconium tungstate in an elutable container to obtain the rhenium-188 radionuclide generator
