Abstract
61Cu was produced by natCo(α, xn)61Cu reaction. 61Cu production yield was 89.5 MBq/μAh (2.42 mCi/μAh) at the end of irradiation (EOI). A simple radiochemical separation method using anion exchange resin and ascorbic acid has been employed to separate the product radionuclide from inactive target material and co-produced non-isotopic impurities. The radiochemical separation yield was about 90%. Radiochemical purity of 61Cu was >99% 1 h after EOI. Final product was suitable for making complex with N2S2 type of ligands.
► High purity, no-carrier added 61Cu produced from natural cobalt target. ► 61Cu separated from impurities using anion exchange resin and ascorbic acid. ► 61Cu preparation was successfully used to label N2S2-type of ligand.
