Abstract

⁶⁰Cu and ⁶⁴Cu are useful radioisotopes for positron emission tomography (PET) radiopharmaceuticals and may be used for the preparation of promising agents for diagnosis and radiotherapy. In this study, the production and purification of ^60/64Cu starting from ^60/64Ni using a new automated system, namely Alceo, is described. A dynamic process for electrodeposition and dissolution of ^60/64Ni/^60/64Cu was developed. Preliminary production yields of ⁶⁰Cu and ⁶⁴Cu were 400 and 300 mCi, respectively. ⁶⁴Cu was used to radiolabel the hypoxia detection tracer ATSM with a specific activity of 2.2±1.3 Ci/μmol.
