A Quality Control Assay to Access the HCl Molarity of Radionuclide Solutions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Strontium-82 is produced by proton activation of a rubidium chloride target in an accelerator or cyclotron and purified by ion exchange chromatography. The Strontrium-82 is used in Cardigen generators to produce Rubidium-82 for cardiac imaging. Quality control testing of the purified Strontium-82 is performed with Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and gamma spectroscopy. To meet Department of Energy specifications for HCl molarity the purified Strontium-82 solution needs to be tested to determine if the isotope is in the 0.05–0.5 M HCl range. This manuscript reports a simple HCl molarity test to determine if the purified Strontium-82 solution meets specifications. Validation of the assay was performed by evaluating all solutions associate with Strontium-82 processing.

متن کاملEffect of Zinc Nutrition on Growth Traits, Sodium and Potassium Concentrations and Calcium Molarity Ratio of Roots and Leaves in Two Olive Cultivars under Different Salinity Levels
In order to study the effect of zinc (Zn) nutrition on relative tolerance of olive (Olea europea L.) seedlings to salinity, a factorial pot experiment was conducted, based on completely randomized design with three replications, during fall 2013. One-year seedlings of two olive cultivars (‘Frontoio’ and ‘Conservolea’) were planted in 10-litre plastic pots containing sand and perlite (1:1 ratio)...

In this study, corrosion behaviour of A356-10 vol.% SiC composites casted by gravity and squeeze casting is evaluated. For this purpose, prepared samples were immersed in HCl solution for 1h at open circuit potential. Tafel polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were carried out to study the corrosion resistance of composites. The Tafel polarization and EIS studies of ...
