{sup 55}Co is a positron emitting isotope that is of interest to the nuclear medicine imaging community. {sup 55}Co was produced by the {sup 58}Ni(p,{alpha}){sup 55}Co reaction and purified by chromatography. Our method has produced {sup 55}Co in millicurie quantities with a final recovery of 78% and an effective specific activity of 28{mu}Ci/{mu}mol. The only radioactive impurity recovered with {sup 55}Co is {sup 57}Co(271.8d) and is at a concentration of {approx}0.182% that of {sup 55}Co.
