FIG. 11.2. Column chromatographic separation of <strong>90</strong> Y (three columns).<br />

11.3.1.3. Quality control of <strong>90</strong> Sr/ <strong>90</strong> Y generator<br />

An important issue related to the <strong>90</strong> Sr/ <strong>90</strong> Y generator was the quality<br />

control of the final <strong>90</strong> Y product. The most important concern was regarding<br />

<strong>90</strong> Sr breakthrough. Several methods were tested <strong>for</strong> <strong>90</strong> Sr assay as reported in the<br />

following.<br />

(a)<br />

EPC method <strong>for</strong> estimation of <strong>90</strong> Sr content in <strong>90</strong> Y chloride/acetate solutions<br />

The following protocol was designed <strong>for</strong> estimation of the radionuclide<br />

purity of the <strong>90</strong> Y solution:<br />

——<br />

Preparation of test solution: Take 15 mCi of <strong>90</strong> Y <strong>and</strong> dry it, add 50 μL<br />

of 0.5M ammonium acetate <strong>and</strong> divide the solution to obtain different<br />

activities such as 1, 2, 3, 4 <strong>and</strong> 5 mCi.<br />

——<br />

Preparation of test solution <strong>for</strong> EPC: A 5 μL sample of each of the activities<br />

was applied on a KSM-17 spot on Whatman No. 1 chromatographic paper<br />

<strong>and</strong> allowed to dry completely.<br />
