Liquid-liquid+Extraction+of+99mTc

Developed By
Section of Radiochemistry Institute of Chemistry Faculty of Mathematics and Natural sciences University of Oslo

Learning Goals
After having completed this exercise you should know the following:
 * How a 99 Mo - 99m Tc generator works.
 * How to measure and analyze a simple gamma spectrum.
 * Have some practical experience in working with modest amount of radioactive materials (solutions).
 * How to use a radioactive tracer to investigate a chemical process (liquid-liquid extraction)

Experimental Procedure
Extraction and Measurement of 99mTc from a Isotope Generator

Questions for the Students
How often can 99m Tc be extracted from the generator?................................... How do you get the activity out of the generator? Draw a sketch:
