Abstract

The invention relates to the fabrication of a liquid target transfer apparatus for the production cyclotron isotopes. The liquid target is currently used to produce radioactive isotopes, for example: F-18, N-13 etc. The structure of the apparatus mainly consists of magnetic valves, teflon tubing, glass vials, helium, compressed air, pressure regulator, timer, and the programable computer or equivalent controll system.

Description of the invention (/) 1. Field of the invention The present invention is a liquid transfer device suitable for a cyclotron liquid irradiation target system. The device is used to transfer the liquid to the target cavity. The high-speed particles generated by the cyclotron impact the input liquid. After the nuclear reaction is completed, the generated radioisotopes and liquid are transferred to the lead chamber for chemical separation. 2. Background of the invention One of the main functions of cyclotrons is the production of radioisotopes. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to have a variety of target bodies, such as solid dry, gas dry, and liquid targets, in order to effectively and smoothly produce a variety of different radioisotopes. A liquid target is a method necessary for the production of radioactive isotopes such as F_18. Due to the widespread use of nuclear medicines in recent years, the demand for F-18 isotopes in the new half-life has increased. The principle of using a cyclotron to produce radioisotopes is to use high-speed particles accelerated by an electric and magnetic field to strike an appropriate target substance, generate a radioisotope after a nuclear reaction, and then chemically separate and purify it to produce the required radioisotope. Liquid or gas target materials cannot be completely exposed to the impact of particles due to their physical characteristics, so they must be installed in a container. Generally, the way of filling the liquid is by the staff holding an injection syringe. After extracting a fixed amount of liquid from the liquid storage bottle, it enters the irradiation target chamber, opens the target cavity liquid injection valve and exhaust valve, injects the liquid into the dry cavity, and then closes. The injection valve and exhaust valve 'are then opened to pressurize the target cavity to pressurize the target cavity to the required pressure-the irradiation Θ needs to be repeated to do the same work, except that the paper size of the injected liquid applies Chinese national standards ( CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Binding-order i IIII --- Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Employee Consumption Co-operative Printing Intellectual Property of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Printed by the staff of the Bureau, printed by the cooperative 44 08 7 9 A7 _____________B7______ V. Description of the invention (2) The mass is not easy to control, it may also cause human error and the previous work is completely abandoned, and this work needs to be carried out in a target room with high radiation. Personnel often receive high radiation doses. To maintain the safety of workers, it is advisable to minimize the number and time of entering the target chamber. Based on the above reasons, a fixed amount of The body is injected into the target cavity, and the radiation exposure dose of the workers is reduced. 'The reliability and consistency of the irradiated products are maintained, and the safety of the workers is maintained.' The original manual operation was changed to a computer-controlled full-automatic method to automatically change the liquid automatically. After being injected into the target cavity, after being irradiated with the beam, the liquid in the target cavity and the radioactive isotope generated can be automatically transferred from the target cavity to the lead chamber for subsequent chemical processing, and then the liquid target delivery device of the present invention is provided. Development. 3-Object of the invention The object of the present invention is to propose a cyclotron liquid target transfer device, which is safe and reliable in use and simple in operation.

The combined structure of the device of the present invention is as detailed above and attached to Figures 1 and 2, and the method of use is described as follows: (1) First, a 150 ml liquid is drawn through a sterile syringe, and the needle passes through the rubber septum of the liquid glass bottle 2. Inject the liquid into the glass bottle 2. Two thin tubes are inserted into the glass bottle 2. The thin tube for helium supply must be kept on the liquid surface, and the mouth of the other thin tube must face the bottom of the glass bottle to make the stored liquid long. Times of use. When the liquid is transferred from the glass bottle 2 to the target cavity 4, the following operations must be performed first: (2) Open the helium cylinder and check that the pressure of the helium gas is greater than 10 atmospheres.

Invention Description ) The head is connected to the micro hole and the membrane 6 is inserted into the bottle cap. The principle is not to contact the liquid for ventilation. (6) The injector Vt is the most important valve for controlling the amount of liquid injected. It is controlled by the valve controller 7 and the timer 8. As soon as this is opened, the liquid flows from the glass bottle 2 to the target cavity 4 under a pressure of 7 psi of helium. The amount of liquid injected is limited by the length of the Vt switch time of the injector and the pressure of helium. If the helium pressure is 7 psi, 12 liquids can be transferred to the dry chamber 4 in three seconds. In order to avoid the insufficient amount of liquid to be transferred, the principle is that the dry cavity 4 is full after it is full. The overflowed liquid flows to the overflow bottle 5 and can be recycled. The operation flow of the liquid to the target cavity 4 is described as follows: (1) Open the helium cylinder 'helium He is adjusted to 60psi by the high pressure regulator 11 and the pressure to the liquid glass bottle 2 via the V3 and the low pressure regulator 12 There is 7psi. (2) Open VI to make the helium gas flow to V2, open V4, and open V5 to flow to other's, open V6 to overflow bottle 5. (3) Open the Vt 'liquid and begin to flow to the target cavity 4, fill the target cavity 4, and a little bit into the overflow bottle 5, and close Vt. Under the condition of 7psi helium pressure, the time of Vt opening is about 3 seconds, and the liquid filled with rake chamber 4 can reach 1.2 mL.
