A simple 18O water target for 18F production.
A simple low-volume (3 mL) target has been constructed for the production of 18F via the proton irradiation of 18O enriched water. The target is constructed of copper with the water cavity electroplated with nickel. This target routinely produces more than a curie of 18F (as [18F]fluoride) suitable for radiopharmaceutical syntheses.
