Abstract

Here we describe an automated (68)Ge/(68)Ga generator milking and concentration procedure. It is especially suited for reproducible preparation of (68)Ga in volumes of approximately 200 microl with optimum activity for subsequent labelling of small amounts of peptides or proteins ideal for microPET applications.
