A peristaltic pump driven 89 Zr separation module
نویسندگان
چکیده
To facilitate the separation of Zr produced in yttrium foils, an automated separation module was designed and assembled. The module separates more than 85% of produced Zr – activity in 3 g foils in less than 90 min. About 10 % remains in the dissolving vial. The quality of the separated Zr activity was investigated for labeling of the HER2-binding monoclonal antibody fragment, trastuzumab-Fab.

Routine Production of 89 Zr Using an Automated Module
Zr has emerged as a useful radioisotope for targeted molecular imaging via positron emission tomography (PET) in both animal models and humans. This isotope is particularly attractive for cancer research because its half-life (t1/2 = 3.27 days) is well-suited for in vivo targeting of macromolecules and nanoparticles to cell surface antigens expressed by cancer cells. Furthermore, Zr emits a low...
