Popis: A 90 Sr 90 Y MINIGENERATOR has been developed for as an educational aid. It consists of ion exchange paper impregnated with Amberlite IR-120 resin on which 0.1 μCi of 90Sr is deposited and from which 90Y is eluted with a dilute solution of disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). More than 95% of the 90Y is recovered in 2 ml of 0.003 M EDTA with radionuclide purity greater than 99.9%. The system does not change its characteristics even after 1000 elutions. Such an ion exchange system has not previously been reported for separation of 90Y from 90Sr.
