Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for producing customized, predictable and reproducible supplies of radioisotopes using, for example, a reactor housing that is fabricated from a radioactive shielding material and has both an internal volume and a surface that comprises an entry port and an exit port, a chromatographic column that is positioned within said internal volume such that a first end of said column is in fluid communication with said entry port and a second end of said column is in fluid communication with said exit port, and a changeable filter module that is disposed external to said reactor housing and in fluid communication with said exit port.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for removal of gypsum from the skin of a patient. The method comprising the steps of: (i) applying to the skin of a patient an aqueous liquid composition comprising a water-miscible organic solvent, an acid and an emollient, the aqueous liquid composition having a pH in the range of from about 2 to about 5; (ii) dissolving the gypsum in the aqueous liquid composition; and (iii) removing the aqueous liquid composition containing dissolved gypsum from the skin of the patient. An aspect of the invention also relates to a liquid composition, particularly one for removal of gypsum from the skin of a patient, the composition comprising water, a water-miscible organic solvent, an acid and an emollient, the liquid composition having a pH in the range of from about 2 to about 5, with the proviso that the acid is not salicylic acid.
