Claims18
A method of removing a radioactively labeled biological molecule from a liquid radioactive waste solution comprising the steps of:
- (a) contacting said liquid radioactive waste solution with a solid phase binder consisting of a solid phase adsorbent attached to, or entrapped in, a polymer or resin to form a solid phase binder radioactively labeled biological molecule complex;
- and
- (b) separating said complex from said liquid radioactive waste solution to remove the radioactively labeled biological molecule from the liquid radioactive waste solution.
A method of removing a radioactively labeled biological molecule from a liquid radioactive waste solution comprising the steps of:
- (a) contacting said liquid radioactive waste solution with a solid phase immunochemical binder to form a solid phase immunochemical binder:radioactively labeled biological molecule complex;
- and
- (b) separating said complex from said liquid radioactive waste solution to remove the radioactively labeled biological molecule from the liquid radioactive waste solution.
