[Isotope-prod] Cu-67 pricing

[George Kharashvili]

Dear Hari,

I once requested a quote for 1 kg of Ga-71 from a popular isotope vendor in Sweden. 1 kg of Ga-71 in metal form with isotopic enrichment >99% was quoted at $3.3-3.5 million. Production time is approx. 9 months.

Dear George, 

Thanks for the information. I thought that the content of the conversation with 
Dennis and Ethan was leaning towards production and your message gives an 
idea why that was so. 

As you say and if the estimates are right, the Cu-67 from isotopically pure Ga-71 
target is a very attractive product. 

I was trying to find the cost for isotopically pure G-71 and have drawn a blank. Some 
one from what by name appears Swedish contacted me and never followed up.

Dear all, 

I requested a Cu-67 quote from Oak Ridge after our meeting yesterday. I was told that is is not currently available and may become available in a few months time, which is when they would give us an official quote. But they kindIy provided an estimate (not a quote) of $526.00 per mCi of Cu-67 with a $4,435.00 dispensing/Packaging/Shipment charger per order. 
Below are some details about what they offer for Cu-67. I would like to point out the radiopurity info: 60% activity being Cu-64! I believe this is where our method can be superior: using 40-50 MeV beam on Ga-71 target, we can end up with virtually no Cu-64 in our final product.
