A milking method was developed for the production of the short-lived Al/ sup 28/ for use in physiological experiments. A Mg/sup 28/ solution is obtained by the irradiation and purification of a Li/sup 6/Mg/sup 26/ alloy, and it is placed on a Dowex 50W column in the Na/sup +/ form and then washed with 1 N NaOH. The Al/sup 28/ is eluted in 10 to 30 sec by 1 N NaOH solution containing 0.5 mg/ ml of carrier Al. The half lives of Mg/sup 28/ and Al/sup 28/ were determined to be 20.88 plus or minus 0.06 hr and 2.238 plus or minus 0.006 min, respectively. (D.L.C.
