Abstract
A process is described whereby iaF of pharmaceutical quality can be rapidly isolated from irradiated lithium carbonate by distillation under controlled conditions. By this method a consistent, high yield of I8F can be obtained in a solution containing reproducible concentrations of sodium sulphate and carbonate.
