Abstract: Methods and apparatus for synthesizing radiochemical compounds are provided. The methods include generating a quasi-neutral plasma jet, and directing the plasma jet onto a radionuclide precursor to provide one or more radionuclides. The radionuclides can be used to prepare radiolabeled compounds, such as radiolabeled biomarkers.
