  • Method for elution of a radioisotope according to an elution run schedule
    Patent number: 5475232
    Abstract: A method that provides a preferred generator profile that includes a set of generators, described in terms of their size, calibration and day of receipt, that will meet radioisotope requirement for a location for a preselected period of time.
