As a continuation of previous work (Kmak et al. in J Radioanal Nucl Chem 314:985–989, 2017), an isotope generator column based on the ²¹⁰Pb decay chain has been made here to produce highly radiopure ²¹⁰Po. Two replicate studies were performed on AG 50Wx8 columns with an average yield of 90.4 ± 1.9%. ²¹⁰Pb breakthrough was seen at the 6 month elution for both generators.
