The use of gallium-68 (68Ga) is rapidly expanding with new applications arising almost every week. Therefore, the global availability of this nuclide is a critical issue. 68Ga is currently sourced from commercial 68Ge/68Ga generators but their production is limited by the availability of the parent nuclide 68Ge. Alternatively, the use of a 68Zn salt solution in a liquid target has been proposed [1] [2]. With thi...
