Abstract
A method of isolatingRe according to example embodiments may include vaporizing a source compound containingRe andRe. The vaporized source compound may be ionized to form negatively-charged molecules containingRe andRe. The negatively-charged molecules may be separated to isolate the negatively-charged molecules containingRe. The isolated negatively-charged molecules containingRe may be collected with a positively-charged collector. Accordingly, the isolatedRe may be used to produce therapeutic and/or diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals having higher specific activity.
