Claim 0:
1. A radioisotope elution system comprising a radioisotope generator containing a parent radioisotope that decays into a daughter radioisotope, a patient line for infusing a patient with a daughter radioisotope eluate generated by the generator, a pump for pumping an eluant from an eluant reservoir into the generator, a controller, and a user interface, wherein the system has at least mechanism for identifying whether the eluant is a saline solution or not, said mechanism comprises
a liquid parameter detector, wherein the liquid parameter detector that is adapted to detect in the eluant at least one of the following parameters:
i. pH,
ii. quantity of divalent ions or trivalent ions,
iii. piezoelectricity,
iv. light absorbance detected by atomic absorption spectroscopy, based on absorption of light of free metallic ions,
v. photoelectricity detected by flame photometry, atomic emission detected by atomic emission spectroscopy (AES),
vi. optical emission detected by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) also referred to as inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES),
vii. atomic mass detected by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS),
viii. EDTA complexing ability,
ix. fluorescence detected by X-ray fluorescence (XRF)
x. element content detected by a particle-Induced X-Ray Emission (PIXE).
