The present disclosure provides a self-contained system that contains a plurality of target cartridges, automatically inserts a selected target cartridge into position for irradiation, advances a foil to facilitate irradiation over the target chamber, replaces the foil for additional irradiation (if desired), serves as a dissolution cell for retrieval of the irradiated material, removes the used target cartridge and inserts a new cartridge for subsequent cycles of operation. Consequently, only the dissolved target material and dissolution medium are transferred between the target system and any post processing cells/labs. Accordingly, a system is disclosed for processing a target material without disturbance to irradiated material (thereby eliminating risk of impurities) and without requiring manual access/intervention (thereby eliminating risk of exposure). 本公开提供了一种含有多个靶盒的独立系统，该独立系统自动将选定的靶盒插入辐照位置中，推进箔以促进在靶室之上的辐照，更换箔以进行附加辐照(如果需要)，用作回收被辐照的材料的溶解胞元，移除用过的靶盒并插入新的盒以进行后续操作循环。因此，只有溶解的靶材料和溶解介质在靶系统与任何后处理胞元/实验室之间转移。因此，公
