Abstract
An express method was developed for production of a radiopharmaceutical (RP ) for intravenous injection based on thallium-199 chloride. The procedure i nvolves distillation of thallium in the form of chloride in a hermetically sealed quartz installation in a flow of hydrogen chloride, followed by cond ensation of the nuclides in traps filled with water. After adding NaCl to o btain a physiological solution and removing HCl by evaporation, the residue is dissolved in water and sterilized. The total duration of the procedure is about 2 h.
