Tracy,

You might try contacting The Nucleus, Inc., 761 Emory Valley Rd., Oak Ridge,
TN 37830-2561, Tele: (615) 483-0008.  

They manufacture Cs137-Ba137m Minigenerators.  Their literature states the
elutant is 0.04 N HCl and 0.9% NaCl.

Howdy,

I'm trying to determine what is used in the "Eluting Solution" for a 
Barium/Cesium Isotope Generator.  We still have the isotope generator 
in one of our teaching labs, but have run out of the eluting solution. 
This solution is used to extract the barium isotope from the 
generator.  Unfortunately, I don't know the manufacturer of this 
device.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tracy
