The methods demonstrate selectivity to the imprinted micelles over others that are of similar size and configuration and are compatible with airborne aerosol sampling techniques. The detection method can be used to monitor and detect any airborne analyte, including pathogens (such as SARS-CoV-2), toxins, proteins, organic molecules, inorganic particles, chemicals, explosive particles, and environmental pollutants.

Abstract: A new column-based purification system and approach are described for rapid separation and purification of the alpha-emitting therapeutic radioisotope 211At from dissolved cyclotron targets that provide highly reproducible product results with excellent 211At species distributions and high antibody labeling yields compared with prior art manual extraction results of the prior art that can be expected to enable enhanced production of purified 211At isotope products suitable for therapeutic medical applications such as treatment of cancer in human patients.

Abstract: An isotope production system, emanation generator, and process are disclosed for production of high-purity radioisotopes. In one implementation example, high-purity Pb-212 and/or Bi-212 isotopes are produced suitable for therapeutic applications. In one embodiment the process includes transporting gaseous radon-220 from a radium-224 bearing generator which provides gas-phase separation of the Rn-220 from the Ra-224 in the generator. Subsequent decay of the captured Rn-220 accumulates high-purity Pb-212 and/or Bi-212 isotopes suitable for direct therapeutic applications. Other high-purity product isotopes may also be prepared.

Abstract: A sensor, system, and method of making a sensor are disclosed. The sensor includes a solid polymer material, and a dopant-containing region of discrete thickness at a surface of the solid polymer. The method of creating the sensor includes impregnating the polymer material with the dopant by contact with a solvent solution containing the dopants. A polymer/solvent gel-layer, whose depth increases with impregnation time, forms after contact of the polymer material in the solvent solution. The dopants are diffused into the polymer material, forming a dopant-containing region of discrete thickness at a surface of the solid polymer.

Abstract: A system and a process for producing selected isotopic daughter products from parent materials characterized by the steps of loading the parent material upon a sorbent having a functional group configured to selectively bind the parent material under designated conditions, generating the selected isotopic daughter products, and eluting said selected isotopic daughter products from the sorbent. In one embodiment, the process also includes the step of passing an eluent formed by the elution step through a second sorbent material that is configured to remove a preselected material from said eluent. In some applications a passage of the material through a third sorbent material after passage through the second sorbent material is also performed.

Abstract: Medical isotope generator systems are disclosed according to some aspects. In one aspect, a 90Y generator system comprises a generator column, a concentration column, and a flow control system, through which the generator column and the concentration column are in fluid communication. The flow control system provides a plurality of flow configurations for delivering a milking solution to the generator column, the concentration column, or both, and for delivering an eluent solution to the concentration column in either a forward or a reverse flow direction. The generator column can comprise a 90Sr stock adsorbed on a sorbent. The milking solution preferentially elutes 90Y from the generator column. The concentration column comprises a sorbent that captures 90Y from the milking solution without altering the milking solution. The eluent solution elutes 90Y from the concentration column.
