| Background: One of the key techniques for
the preparation of 125I seeds is adsorption of 125I onto
silver bits coated by palladium (pd). Carriers played
an important role in the adsorption of 125I on
palladium. KI is used as a carrier for fixing of 125I onto
silver wire bits coated with palladium. Materials and
Methods: Three procedures KI, KOH, NH4OH were
investigated for adsorption of 125I activity by different
carriers. Results: Adsorptions percentage of 125I on
treated silver beads showed about 85% by using KI
as a carrier, the KOH showed 74% and 65% for
NH4OH. Conclusion: The results indicated that, the
use of KI as a carrier was suitable for adsorption of
125I on treated silver seeds with Pd than KOH and
NH4OH. Iran. J. Radiat. Res., 2012 10(2): 105‐107
