Abstract
The automatic system for $^{67}Ga$ production using for the diagnosis of malignant tumor has been developed. A solvent extraction and an ion exchange chromatography were used for the separation $^{67}Ga$ from the irradiated enriched $^{68}Zn$. This system consisted of a solvent separation unit which was composed of micro conductivity cells, air supply tubes, solvent transfer tubes, solenoid valves and glasses, a PLC based controller and a PMU user interface unit for automation. The radiation exposure to the workers and the production time can both be reduced by employing this system during the $^{67}Ga$ production phase. After all, the mass production of $^{67}Ga$ with high efficiency was possible.
