Evaporation / Purification Module model EVP

The unit can be placed inside an hot cell and must be connected to the irradiation unit with the target transfer pipe (see ALCEO HALOGEN).

The EVP module contains the necessary components for the following operations:

automatic transfer of the target shuttles between the hotcell and the cyclotron
plating of the target (aluminium telluride) on the target shuttle
evaporation of the iodine radioisotope from the irradiated target
purification by means of ion chromatography of the produced isotope

The purification task makes use of a “disposable cassette”, in order to avoid the module contamination and to guarantee the product sterility. Comecer supplies the sterile cassette, while the preparation of the required synthesis reagents is customer responsibility.
