| Popis: | The in vitro stability of 99m Tc(Sn)-pyrophosphate solutionwas examined in dependence on the preparation conditions of the samples, the radioactive concentration of 99m Tc in the kit and the time elapsed after labeling. The samples without any protection are highly unstable. The formation of 99m Tc-pertechnetate does not depend on the radioactive concentration. Nitrogen purging provides protection in the case of low radioactive concentrations (37 MBq 99m Tc/ml) but exhibits no effect at higher concentrations. The best stabilization was achieved by using ascorbic acid. A concentration of 60 mg/ml keeps the content of 99m Tc-pertechnetate below 1% during six hours after labeling, even in solutions of high readioactive concentrations (740.814 MBq/ml). Gentisic acid is less effective. Concentrations about ten times higher than required using ascorbic acid are needed to keep the content of 99m Tc-pertechnetate below 5% during six hours. |
