Abstrakt: In an effort to more quickly evaluate the conditioning of our 18F-fluorine target and determine the amount of F2 that is released with each unload, a simple spectrophotometer was fabricated that aids in quantifying the I2 produced as a result of bubbling F2 gas into a solution of potassium iodide. A narrow range LED (470 ± 10 nm), combined with a wide range photodiode (320-1100 nm) were used to construct the simple spectrophotometer device. We were able to use this device to quantitate the amount of F2 released and obtained a good correlation (R2>0.991) with the values obtained by the 'traditional' titration method.
