Patent ID: 8487047

Claim:
A generator for a 68 Gallium ( 68 Ga) daughter nuclide, wherein the 68 Germanium ( 68 Ge) parent nuclide thereof is attached specifically to a support through a trihydroxyphenyl group or a dihydroxyphenyl group and continuously disintegrates to 68 Ga by electron capture at a half-life of 270.82d, wherein the trihydroxyphenyl group or dihydroxyphenyl group is covalently bound via a linker to a support material, the linker being selected from the group consisting of: C 2 to C 20 esters; C 2 to C 20 alkyls, phenyl, thiourea, C 2 -C 20 amines, maleimide, melamine, trihydroxyphenyl alkoxsilanes, in particular 1,2,3-trihydroxyphenyltriethoxysilane, trihydroxyphenyldiethoxysilane, 1,2,3-trihydroxyphenylethoxysilane, 1,2,3-trihydroxyphenyltripropoxysilane, 1,2,3-trihydroxyphenylchlorosilane, epichlorohydrin, isothiocyanates, thiols.
