With a growing interest in clinical applications in recent years, the demand for Gallium-68 (68Ga) has also increased. 68Ga-DOTATATE is used as a radiotracer in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) to detect and evaluate cancer-causing Neuroendocrine tumor (NET) cells. A particle accelerator, Cyclotron, is used in generating radioactive isotope 68Ga at a large scale. In a recent study published…

Gallium-68 (68Ga, t1/2 ¼ 67.8 min) owns great potential in nuclear medicine being extensively used in labelling of biomolecules like somatostatin and PSMA inhibitor analogues. 68Ga decay to stable Zinc-68 (68Zn) nuclide via electron capture (11%) and positron decay (89%) and is generally produced via 68Ge/68Ga generators. Although this approach is widely used, the generators…
