Abstract
A method for generating Ga-68 from Ge-68 is provided that comprises contacting a substrate on which Ge-68 has been adsorbed with an alkaline solution having a pH of at least about 12 and thereby eluting Ga-68. Preferably the Ga-68 is eluted in the form of the gallate ion. A generator system comprises a generator column containing Ge-68 and Ga-68, a sealed eluant container having a predetermined quantity of eluant comprising an alkaline solution having a pH of at least about 12, and an evacuated eluate collection vial having a vacuum sufficient to draw the desired quantity of eluate into the eluate collection vial. The eluate collection vial can contain a neutralizing agent and also a diagnostically useful complexing agent.
