188W/188Re Generator
Not for Human Use.
Elution
The elution yield of rhenium-188 is 75-85 %, and it remains stable throughout the shelf-life of the generator.
Set up
- The 188W/188Re generator must be eluted with sterile 0,9 % saline solution only.
- The maximum time for the 188W/188Re generator to be left uneluted is three (3) weeks.
