Disclosed is a device for separating radioisotope thallium-201. The device includes an evaporation unit for a solution vial, a first glass vial connected to a first valve and a second valve, an ion exchange column connected to a third valve, a second glass vial connected to a fourth valve and a fifth valve, a collection vial for receiving solution from the fifth valve, a product vial with a membrane filter and a vacuum unit connected to the first valve, the fourth valve and a sixth valve. This device can separate out high-concentration thallium-201 solution from which radioisotope thallium-201 can be obtained.

Device for separating out radioisotope thallium-201

A radioisotope TI-201 is produced. The process includes electroplating, irradiating, dissolving, precipitating, ion exchanging, decaying and filtering. The TI-201 obtained is a liquid having a high purity.

Radioisotope TI-201 production process

A device to rapidly obtain a solution of Pb(lead)-201 from a solution of a solid target material of Tl(thallium)-203. The solution of Pb-201 is then processed through a degeneration and an ion exchange to obtain in Tl-201 radioisotope.
