Abstract
A new column-based purification system and approach are described for rapid separation and purification of the alpha-emitting therapeutic radioisotope 211At from dissolved cyclotron targets that provide highly reproducible product results with excellent 211At species distributions and high antibody labeling yields compared with prior art manual extraction results of the prior art that can be expected to enable enhanced production of purified 211At isotope products suitable for therapeutic medical applications such as treatment of cancer in human patients.
Claims8
A method for producing a purified 211At isotope product from dissolved cyclotron targets, the method comprising:
- providing a separation media associated with 211At isotopes;
- and
- passing an At elution solution comprising HNO3 through the separation media to elute 211At isotopes from the separation media and provide 211At isotopes in an HNO3 solution.
