COLLEGE STATION, Texas, Feb. 9 (TNSJou) -- Texas A&M University's College of Engineering issued the following news:
In a recent study, Texas A&M University researchers have described a new process to purify astatine-211, a promising radioactive isotope for targeted cancer treatment. Unlike other elaborate purification methods, their technique can extract astatine-211 from bismuth in minutes rather than hours, which can greatly reduce the time between production and delivery . . .
