title: Direct separation of 67Ga citrate from zinc and copper target materials by anion exchange.
abstract: The separation of 67Ga from zinc and copper target materials using an anion-exchanger (Dowex21K) and 0.1M citrate buffer at pH 6 is described. The gallium-67 was separated in citrate solution and can be directly used for medical applications.
