Abstract:Introduction: Auger electron-emitting radionuclides with low (0.001−1 keV) energy, short-range (2−500 nm), and high linear energy transfer (4−26 keV/μm) can play an important role in the targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) of cancer. 165 Er is a pure Auger electron-emitting radionuclide, making it a useful tool for the fundamental studies of the biological effects of Auger electrons. This work develops a simple, inexpensive, high separation factor, and high molar activity radiochemical isolation process for t… Show more
