The Ti-44/Sc-44 (T-1/2 Ti-44 =60 a) generator provides cyclotron-independent access to positron-emitting Sc-44 (T-1/2=3.97 d) for PET imaging. This work aims to post-elution processing of initial Sc-44 generator eluates in order to reduce its volume, HCI concentration and remove the oxalate anions. The on-line adsorption of 44Sc on cationic resin AG 50W-X8 (200-400 mesh, H+-form) is achieved with > 98% efficacy. Subsequently, the purified Sc-44 is desorbed by using 3 ml of 0.25 M ammonium acetate (pH =.4.0).The post-processing takes 10 min. The overall yield of the post-processing reached 90%, which is referred to the Sc-44 obtained from the Ti-44/Sc-44 generator. In addition to the chemical purification, the content of Ti-44 breakthrough was further reduced by one order of magnitude. The 185 MBq generator finally provides 150 MBq of Sc-44 containing
