Patent ID: 8233580

Claim:
A system ( 1 ) for automatic production of radioisotopes, characterized by comprising an irradiation unit ( 2 ) connectable to a cyclotron (C); a purification unit ( 3 ) for purifying the radioisotope formed in said irradiation unit ( 2 ); transfer means ( 4 ) for transferring the irradiated target from the irradiation unit ( 2 ) to the purification unit ( 3 ); and a central control unit ( 5 ) for controlling the irradiation unit ( 2 ), the purification unit ( 3 ), and the transfer means ( 4 ); said irradiation unit ( 2 ) comprising an electrolytic cell ( 14 ) wherein a target is electrodeposited on a target carrier ( 11 ) defining an electrode and wherein said target, once irradiated, is electrodissolved to be transferred to the purification unit ( 3 ) by said transfer means ( 4 ).
