Abstract:
DEVELOPMENT OF 188W188Re GENERATORSheng Rong Li Wenxin Zhu Minghua He Weiyu Yin Duan Zhi Hu Weiqing (Shanghai Institute of Nuclear Research,the Chinese Academy of Science,P.O.Box 800-204,Shanghai 201800)ABSTRACTAn alumina based 188W188Re generator,containing 188 MBq (3.2 mCi) 188W,has been prepared.Performance of the generator has been evaluated for four months.The results indicated that the 188Re yields of elution with physiological saline decreased from approximately 90% to around 80% and the breakthrough of the parent 188W is about 1×10-4%.Due to the higher ratio of height to diameter of the chromatographic column employed in the work,higher specific acitivity of the 188Re from the generator can meet the requirements of labeling monoclonal antibodies for radioimmunotherapy.Key words 188W188Re generator Carrierfree 188Re Elution yield Breakthrough
