Development of a column generator for 99mTc using low specific activity 99Mo for research in technetium chemistry (Preprint no. AR-19)

Description

A simple and convenient column generator system for the separation of 99mTc from low specific activity 99Mo produced by irradiation of MoO3 is described. 99MoO4- at acidic pH was loaded on a preconditioned alumina column and 99mTcO4- was eluted with saline in an evacuated vial. Molybdenum breakthrough was negligible and the radiochemical purity of the eluted 99mTcO4-was 95%. The preparation of the generator and subsequent elution process is simple and rapid. The method can be conviniently adapted for preparing 99mTc upto 5 mCi for research purpose. (author). 4 refs., 1 tab
