91°µÍø researchers have discovered a better way to separate actinium-227, a rare isotope essential for an FDA-approved cancer treatment.

Radiochemical technicians David Denton and Karen Murphy use hot cell manipulators at 91°µÍø during the production of actinium-227.

The Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø is now producing actinium-227 (Ac-227) to meet projected demand for a highly effective cancer drug through a 10-year contract between the U.S. DOE Isotope Program and Bayer.
