On April 17-18, 2023, the project Electtra meeting took the place in Prague, Czech Republic. Beside the project partners we welcomed also other partners from academia, clinics and industry interested in Terbium-161 isotope. First day of the workshop was mainly dedicated to the project progress evaluation. Visit to the research…
Radiation induced glass darkening in Tb-161 sample
Tb-161 with it’s low energy electrons would not provide any Čerenkov radiation, but will be always an important member of our therapeutical isotopes portfolio.. Radiation induced glass darkening in Tb-161 sample
Project meeting in Oslo

A sample of pure Terbium-161 with radioactivity over 5 GBq was prepared at the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering, CTU in Prague, in the same way as the sample in 1 GBq milestone. Total amount of Tb-161 obtained after separation was 7386,7 MBq (related to the end of…
Milestone – Pure Tb-161 sample – 1 GBq

A sample of pure Terbium-161 with radioactivity over 1 GBq was prepared at the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering, CTU in Prague thanks to a newly developed separation system. It was prepared by neutron irradiation of highly enriched Gadolinium-160 and subsequent separation on a chromatographic column with cation…
Milestone – Separation system

A production system was developed at CTU to allow reliable routine production of Terbium-161 and its separation from target material, the Gadolinium-160, and other radionuclidic impurities like Ytterbium or Samarium. The separation system is based on column cation exchange chromatography, which is used for both separation and purification steps of…
