  • Abstract
    Voltammetry in cathodic stripping mode was used to measure ultratrace levels of copper in preparations of very high specific activity 64Cu produced via the 64Zn(n,p)64Cu reaction. With high-purity targets and reagents, strict acid-wash procedures and careful handling, specific activities of up to 4×1016 Bq g−1 at 8 h after EOB could be attained when irradiating in a high flux reactor. During irradiation also 65Cu is formed via the route 64Zn(n,γ)65Zn→65Cu, and this contribution to the total amount of copper in high specific activity 64Cu preparations is not always negligible.
