Target:
Nirta® Liquid target
The irradiation of the purified water with an ethanol scavenger via 16O (p,alpha) 13N nuclear reaction produces ‘in-target’ [13N]NH3(ammonia).
Chemistry:
In-target production

N13Nitrogen 13
Nitrogen-13 is a radioisotope used in positron emission tomography (PET). It has a half-life of 9.9 minutes. 13N is mainly used and labelled Ammonia for PET myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) but it can also be used for brain and liver imaging.
To produce Nitrogen 13,
we recommend this production route:
