ABSTRACT

An industrial chromatographic 99Mo–99mTc generator has been developed with the aid of chromatographic alumina to obtain 99mTc in a non-aqueous medium. This generator system takes advantage of tributyl phosphate to extract 99mTc selectively with appreciable yield and in high radiochemical and radionuclidic purity. This facile, versatile and efficient approach provides 99mTc at industrial sites in a medium soluble in hydrocarbon solvents, for radiotracer applications.
