TAT-10: A Novel Micro-Actinium225-Bismuth212 Biomedical Generator System
In conventional systems a BioRad MP50 cation-exchange resin in a chromatographic column is used to produce Bi213. In this study a micro-fluidic device is loaded with the same MP50 (50-70 microns) an of total volume 10-100 microliters. When loaded with microCi to mCi of Ac225, Bi213 could be extracted with a yield of ~75% with a breakthrough Ac225 contamination of ~0.002%. Future work will investigate the on-chip labeling and separation of labeled antibody from free Bi213.
