A radioisotope generator system can include a column assembly having a column, an inlet arm, an outlet arm. The column can contain packing material that binds a radioisotope. In addition, the column may define a notch between an open area and a stopper receptacle area in which an opening of the outlet arm is positioned. In some examples, the system includes a Luer lock connection between the outlet arm and a connector tubing. The Luer lock connection can include a male Luer cap and a female Luer cap each comprising tabs configured to line up with or overlap each other so as to indicate when the caps are sufficiently tightened together so as to form a non-leaking lock.

Containers for pharmaceuticals, particularly for use in radioisotope generators

The invention is directed to improved containers for pharmaceuticals and any tubing and tubing connectors associated therewith, particularly containers for pharmaceuticals which are irradiated, heated or otherwise subjected to increased pressure. In a preferred embodiment, the invention is directed to an improved container for use in a radioisotope generator, such as a rubidium-82 generator.
