About Kilocuries per kilogram

The kilocurie per kilogram (kCi/kg) equals 3.7 × 10¹³ Bq/kg = 1 Ci/g. The specific activity of carrier-free ⁶⁰Co is ~1124 Ci/g (= 1.124 kCi/kg or 4.16 × 10¹³ Bq/kg); many radionuclides produced without stable carrier have specific activities in the kCi/kg range. 1 kCi/kg = 3.7 × 10¹³ Bq/kg = 1 Ci/g.

About Gigabecquerels per kilogram

The gigabecquerel per kilogram (GBq/kg) equals 10⁹ Bq/kg. Characterises specific activity of cyclotron-produced short-lived nuclides: ¹⁸F batches from a medical cyclotron have specific activities of 10⁴-10⁵ GBq/µmol; ⁹⁹mTc eluates from a Mo/Tc generator are in the GBq/kg concentration range for clinical use. 1 GBq/kg = 10⁹ Bq/kg.
