Abstract:
A chromatographic (99)Mo/(99m)Tc generator for industrial applications has been developed using alumina microspheres synthesized through sol-gel process to obtain (99m)Tc in both aqueous and non-aqueous media. The sorbent was mesoporous, mechanically strong and possessed high surface area. (99m)Tc could be eluted from generator system using either acetone or 0.9% NaCl solution with appreciably high yields and high radiochemical as well as radionuclidic purity. The facile, versatile generator provides an efficient way to access (99m)Tc at industrial sites for radiotracer applications.
