Notes:
A system for storage and continuous dispensing of constant activity 11CO2 from batch production is described. The system has been used successfully to maintain constant activity levels for 2-h plant tracer kinetic experiments. This development now allows any existing cyclotron facility to supply a radioisotope stream continuously from a short batch irradiation. It requires no modification for use with other isotopes such as N-13 or O-15 in gaseous form and can be used in other biological and clinical investigations as well as the plant physiology investigations for which it was developed.
