Abstract

A process for preparing a tungsten-188/rhenium-188 generator having a tungstate matrix containing W-188 produced by irradiating tungsten-186 in the tungstate compound. High activity, carrier-free rhenium-188 may be obtained by elution. Substrates for further purifying the rhenium-188 eluate are also described.
