Cyclone® IKON
123I can be produced on a cyclotron using proton bombardment (28- 30MeV) of a 124Xenon gas target.
Target:
123 gas target
Gas target loaded with enriched 124Xenon to provide 123I by natural decay. The gas target has a cryogenic recovery system for 124Xe (working in closed loop). The 123I is extracted by washing target with pure water.
Chemistry:
Pinctada®
The target wash solution is purified by two ion exchange columns to provide a concentrated NaI solution for dispensing or labelling
