Description
A method of preparing a 68Ge/68Ga generator directly from an irradiated target of Ga2O3 is discussed, which utilises an ion exchange column containing hydrous zirconium oxide (HZO). A yield of 30-40% of 68Ga is reported with a breakthrough of 68Ge as low as one part in 105. The leakage of stable zirconium from the column may be a problem for routine clinical use and this is being investigated further. (author)
