Radioanalysis of 82Rb generator eluates.
The activity of 82Rb produced from a 82Sr/82Rb generator is dependent on elution conditions (volume and eluent flow rate) and sampling conditions (time and position of collection). Assays for 82Rb in generator eluates are described using a commercial dose calibrator in a static procedure and a plastic scintillator in a dynamic procedure. Dynamic assays more accurately reflect the 82Rb administered when the eluate is injected directly. Radionuclidic contaminants which may be present with 82Sr are identified and procedures for their measurement are described.
