Abstract:
An apparatus for automatically separating radionuclides using a chromatographic separation process, such apparatus comprising:means for forming a first flow diagram depicting flow of the radionuclides through a first set of separation elements of the plurality of separation processing elements, but only during a first step of the chromatographic separation process; means for displaying a first flow diagram depicting flow of the radionuclides through a first set of separation elements of the plurality of separation processing elements, but only during a first step of the chromatographic separation process; means for forming a second flow diagram depicting flow of the radionuclides through a second set of separation elements of the plurality of separation processing elements, but only during a second step of the chromatographic separation process; and means for displaying a second flow diagram depicting flow of the radionuclides through a second set of separation elements of the plurality of separation processing elements, but only during a second step of the chromatographic separation process, said means for displaying a first flow diagram and said means for displaying a second flow diagram allowing an operator to monitor the separation processing elements without directly viewing the separation processing elements.
