Abstract:
Techniques have been developed which allow HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) to be used for the quantitative determination of [99mTc]pertechnetate in radiopharmaceuticals and biological samples. An instrumental technique accounts for 99mTc species which do not elute from the HPLC column, while a chemical technique obviates interferences caused by Sn(II). These two techniques are incorporated into an anion exchange HPLC procedure which is applied to the determination of [99mTc]pertechnetate in 99mTc-diphosphonate radiopharmaceuticals and biological samples.
