203 Pb is a promising radioisotope in the field of medical science as an imaging surrogate of  212 Pb. In the present investigation  203 Pb was produced by proton irradiation of natural Tl 2 CO 3  target and was separated from the bulk Tl target using calcium alginate (CA) hydrogel beads with a high separation factor (3.8×10 4  at 10 −3  M HNO 3 ). During the separation process  203 Pb was encapsulated in CA beads and desorption of the radioisotope could only be achieved in 1M HNO 3 . Possibility of Tl uptake was also checked in Fe doped CA (Fe-CA) beads after oxidation of Tl(I) to Tl(III) by sodium bismuthate. No significant uptake of Tl(III) was noticed in the Fe-CA beads. The matrix is therefore suitable for isolation of  203 Pb from the target as well as its storage in the bead for therapeutic as well as diagnostic purpose.
