Abstract: A fluid connector includes a first connector having a first passageway and a second passageway; and a second connector having a third passageway and a fourth passageway. The first connector can be attracted to the second connector through a magnetic force, thereby forming the fluid connector. Moreover, when the first connector abuts the second connector, the first passageway together with the third passageway can form a first fluid path, and the second passageway together with the fourth passageway can form a second fluid path that is different from the first fluid path.

Abstract: A method and a system for eluting a desired activity concentration of a daughter radionuclide-containing eluate obtained from a mixture of mother/daughter radionuclides is disclosed. The method comprises contacting separation particles with an aqueous solution containing a mixture of mother and daughter radionuclides wherein daughter radionuclides bind to separation particles and mother radionuclides does not. That contact is maintained for a time for unbound daughter radionuclide to bind to the separation particles. The unbound mother radionuclide is separated from the daughter radionuclide-bound separation particles using a washing solution. A first fractional amount of the bound daughter radionuclide is stripped from the separation particles using a volume of stripping solution so that an aqueous eluate solution having a desired daughter radionuclide activity is obtained.

Abstract: A fluid flow system configuration which simplifies the automation of fluid control, particularly for chemical processing systems where the minimization of fluid usage and processing speed are desired, particularly for the elution of radiopharmaceutical products. The fluid flow system comprises one or more input fluid containers for inputting fluid into the fluid flow system; a fluid flow control system coupled to the fluid flow containers, wherein the fluid flow control system controls and regulates fluid flowing through the fluid flow system; and one or more output fluid containers for receiving fluid outputted from the fluid flow control system. The fluid flow system integrates the use of single or multiple control reversing bypass valves as part of a fluid flow control system, whereby each reversing bypass valve can independently control flow direction forward, reverse, and/or bypass through the same flow path loop.

Abstract: A novel cell for generating ozonated water, the cell comprises a nafion membrane separating a diamond coated anode, and a gold surfaced cathode enclosed within a cell housing with the catalyst side of the nafion membrane facing the cathode. The cell housing has a cathode housing portion and an anode housing portion separated by the membrane, each housing portion having ridges to enhance substantially even flow of fluid over the cathode and anode. The housing portions contain O-rings in grooves to prevent leaks, and alignment features to keep the electrodes aligned. The cathode and anode have an array of holes allowing fluid to penetrate to the surface of the niobium membrane. Input ports allow fluid to flow into the housing and over the anode and cathode and then out of the housing through outlet ports. The housing may also incorporate an integrated spectral photometer including a bubble trap.
