Definitions
- the present invention relates to a radioactive medicine synthesis system; more particularly, relates to improving purity and yield of chemical product in an automatic radioactive medicine synthesis system.
- Nuclear medicine uses affinitive column for adhesion of target medicine to obtain product after washing and eluting.
- iodine isotope would process radioiodination in a buffer containing an oxidant.
- yield of target and purity of radioactive chemical medicine are affected by the volume of solution; time for oxidation; and arrangement of adhesion, washing and eluting processes.
- the yield and purity may become bad with high cost and the product obtained may become useless.
- the source has to be increased. But, following the increase in source, its volume is increased too. As a result, the yield and purity are still not increased or even decreased.
- a prior art separates the adhesion process and the washing process to reduce pollution of impurities.
- the prior art is automated. The operators only have to take the column manually for washing at the final stage. However, the activity of the column may be still high, the pollution may happen to the operators or there may be a chance for operation mistake in the time before washing.
- the easiest way for increasing the chemical production is to increase the volume of the reactants. But, in fact, it is not so simple. For example, the total volume for the reactions is critical. The reaction of radioiodination is processed in a liquid state and some reaction solutions can not be condensed, so that the yield may not be increased following the increase of the total reaction volume. Besides, radioiodination may contains some incomplete reactions so that some unreacted iodine will be left over. Purification has to be done to the product through processes of adhesion (of the product), washing and elution with an affinitive column, where the adhesion process includes processes of repeated back-and-forth flowing through the column to increase efficiency of adhesion.
- reaction solution filled in the column has a volume smaller than the total reaction volume, some problems may occur in the automatic system, even though an adhesion batch may be designed in theory. Because the column has a small diameter and the liquid has surface tension, incomplete adhesion may happen during the repeated flowing processes and some waste solution may be generated and discharged.
- the main purpose of the present invention is to increase a number of target reaction containers from one into many for increasing reaction volume coordinated with increased reaction times and, by modifying an affinitive column of an automatic synthesis system, to increase production in a single batch conformed to quality check specifications.
- the main purpose of the present invention is provide an automatic way to separate adhesion process and washing process by switching electromagnetic valves coordinated with different sizes of buffer tubes for increasing production and reducing cost
- the present invention is a method of improving purity and yield of chemical product in an automatic radioactive medicine synthesis system, comprising steps of: (a) washing by: inputting a total solution of total solution by nitrogen gas to be flown through a second electromagnetic valve, a first electromagnetic valve and a fourth electromagnetic valve to enter into a first buffer tube; flowing said total solution through a sixth electromagnetic valve to enter an adhesion column to process adhesion; flowing said total solution through an eighth electromagnetic valve and a seventh electromagnetic valve to enter a second buffer tube; flowing a waste gas through a fifth electromagnetic valve and a third electromagnetic valve to be discharged; and staying said total solution in said second buffer tube; (b) backwashing by: flowing nitrogen gas through said second electromagnetic valve, said third electromagnetic valve and said fifth electromagnetic valve to push out said total solution in said second buffer tube; flowing said total solution through said seventh electromagnetic valve and said eighth electromagnetic valve to enter said adhesion column to process adhesion; flowing said total solution through said sixth electromagnetic valve to enter said first buffer tube; and flowing a waste gas through said fourth electromagnetic
- FIG.1 is a structural view showing devices used in a preferred embodiment according to the present invention.
- the present invention is a method of improving purity and yield of chemical product in an automatic radioactive medicine synthesis system, where an original chemical reaction are divided into multiple reactions with adhesions processed after the multiple reactions; and where the adhesions have a total solution flowing back and forth along an adhesion column 1 several times for enhancing adhesion efficiency. Since the total solution has a big volume, the adhesion column 1 is separately added with a buffer tube 21,22 at each end of the adhesion column 1 for guiding the flowing of the total solution coordinated with a plurality of three-way electromagnetic valves 31 ⁇ 39.
- the column For removing unreacted radioactive iodine, the column must be cleaned.
- the present invention added two more buffer tubes 23,24 for washing and backwashing to separate processes of adhesion and washing for improving washing effect with the coordination of the three-way electromagnetic valves 31 ⁇ 39.
- FIG.2 to FIG.7 are views showing processes of washing with adhesion, backwashing with adhesion, discharging reaction solutions, backwashing, washing and eluting out product.
- the present invention comprises the following steps:
- the first to the ninth electromagnetic valves 31 ⁇ 39 are three-way electromagnetic valves; and, the first and the second buffer tubes 21,22 have diameters and volumes bigger than the third and the fourth buffer tubes 23,24.
- the present invention increases a number of target reaction containers from one into many (e.g. three) for increasing reaction volume coordinated with increased reaction times.
- An affinitive column of an automatic synthesis system is modified for increasing production in a single batch conformed to quality check specifications.
- the present invention separates a chemical reaction into many reactions for repeatedly processing original reactions to avoid reducing yield on increasing reaction volume.
- the present invention adds two plastic tubes at head and tail ends of the column to be used as buffer tubes for not only processing adhesion several times but also for solving the problem of incomplete adhesion for reaction solution owing to surface tension (i.e. waste solution).
- the present invention adds two empty columns at head and tail ends of the column to be used as buffer tubes to separate adhesion process and washing process with coordination of electromagnetic valves for controlling to obtain products conformed to quality check specifications.
- the present invention is a method of improving purity and yield of chemical product in an automatic radioactive medicine synthesis system, where, in an automatic way, adhesion process and washing process are separated by switching electromagnetic valves coordinated with different sizes of buffer tubes for increasing production and reducing cost.
