Systems and methods are disclosed for producing customized, predictable
and reproducible supplies of radioisotopes using, for example, a reactor
housing that is fabricated from a radioactive shielding material and has
both an internal volume and a surface that comprises an entry port and an
exit port, a chromatographic column that is positioned within said
internal volume such that a first end of said column is in fluid
communication with said entry port and a second end of said column is in
fluid communication with said exit port, and a changeable filter module
that is disposed external to said reactor housing and in fluid
communication with said exit port.
