Automation of Nuclear Chemistry Processes Leads to More Efficient Production of Astatine for Cancer Therapy

Astatine-211 (At-211) is a promising alpha emitting radioisotope for cancer therapy, but its short 7.2-hour half-life means that it must be handled quickly to minimize losses due to radioactive decay. In this research, scientists designed and tested...
