Summary:Systems and methods for sterilizing a column assembly including a column having an interior containing a retaining media and a parent radionuclide retained by the retaining media, an inlet port in fluid communication with the interior of the column, and an outlet port in fluid communication with the interior of the column. The method includes sealing at least one of the inlet port and the outlet port to form a sealed column assembly such that fluid communication with the column interior though both the inlet port and the outlet port is prevented, and sterilizing the sealed column assembly to form a terminally-sterilized column assembly. L'invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés de stérilisation d'un ensemble colonne comprenant une colonne dont l'intérieur contient un milieu de retenue et un radionucléide parent retenu par le milieu de retenue, un orifice d'entrée en communication fluidique avec l'intérieur de la colonne, et un orifice de sortie en communication fluidique avec l'intérieur de la colonne. Le procédé consiste à sceller l'orifice d'entrée et/ou l'orifice de sortie pour former un ensemble colonne étanche de façon à empêcher la communication fluidique avec l'intérieur de la colonne à travers l'orifice d'entrée et l'orifice de sortie, et à stériliser l'ensemble colonne étanche pour former un ensemble colonne stérilisé à son extrémité.
