Abstract:
The visit to the Institute for Nuclear Sciences of the University of Coimbra (ICNAS / UC) within the IFIN-HH institutional program aimed at observing and understanding the methods of obtaining medical radioisotopes used within ICNAS / UC. As a nuclear physicist, I will be able to make a comparison with the methods used for the TR-19 cyclotron in IFIN-HH, taking into account the methods used for the 2 ICNAS cyclotrons for the production of medical radioisotopes. We performed experiments to obtain and purify 64Cu and 89Zr, followed by peptide and antibody labeling. Given that only liquid targets are used in ICNAS, the irradiation parameters are adapted to the system present there. The purpose of the trip has been achieved. Following the visit and the development of all the experiments, 2 comparative articles will be written.
