Examination of metallic impurities of 68Ge/68Ga generators used for radioactive labeling of peptides in clinical PET applications

Abstract: Background/aim Especially suitable for PET due to its nuclear physical and radiochemical properties, the positron emitter Gallium-68 (68Ga) occurs by electron capture from Germanium-68 (68Ge). In such a radionuclide generator, the germanium is bound to an insoluble, inert column matrix and forms a secular radioactive balance with 68Ga obtained in the hour. As a result of the limited radiochemical selectivity of the elution process, the eluate obtained is basically contaminated with the main nuclide… Show more
