Rapid miniaturized chromatographic quality-control procedures for Tc-99m radiopharmaceuticals. 1977

A M Zimmer, and D G Pavel

Our laboratory has adopted a complete miniaturized charomatography system for Tc-99m radiopharmaceuticals in order to improve upon the commercial systems currently available. Three distinct, separate, chromatographic procedures are used to determine the labeling efficiencies of Tc-99m-labeled sulfur colloid, MAA, stannous chloride, phytate, DMSA, DTPA, pyrophosphate, diphosphonate, methylene diphosphonate, polyphosphate, and glucoheptonate. The chromatographic systems include Whatman 31 ET paper and acetone, Gelman ITLC-SG and 0.9% sodium chloride, and Gelman ITLC-SA and acetone. The chromatographic strips are miniaturized (1 X 6 cm), colored-coded, marked, and numbered. All the chromatographic quality-control procedures are simple, rapid, and can easily be incorporated into the routine quality-control program of any nuclear medicine facility.

D002845 Chromatography Techniques used to separate mixtures of substances based on differences in the relative affinities of the substances for mobile and stationary phases. A mobile phase (fluid or gas) passes through a column containing a stationary phase of porous solid or liquid coated on a solid support. Usage is both analytical for small amounts and preparative for bulk amounts. Chromatographies
