Description
The growth of positron emission tomography (PET), with its unique capability to image function as well as structure, depends very much on the availability of positron emitting radioisotopes. Arsenic-72 is a radionuclide possessing significant potential as a PET radioisotope. A wide variety of bone, brain, and tumor seeking agents can be labeled with 72As. A 72Se/72As radiochemical generator would allow on-site recovery of high specific activity 72As for PET research and applications. We have developed a reliable, simple separation chemistry which could be neatly automated for a safe, easy-to-use generator
