TecControl
Chromatography tests the radiochemical purity of specific
Tc99mlabeled
radiopharmaceuticals. The accompanying chart shows
which strips and solvents are required to perform each individual test.
Some solvents must be purchased separately (see SigmaAldrich
chart)
due to hazardous material shipping restrictions.
Detailed instruction manuals are packaged with each strip container,
although our Radiopharmaceutical QC Procedure Manual (151000)
explains paper chromatography in greater detail.
Tec-Control Aluminum Breakthru Kit
The Aluminum Break¬thru Kit provides a rapid, easy and
inexpensive way to test aqueous solutions, particularly
per¬tech¬netate generator eluate, for trace quantities of
alu¬minum. Aluminum forms an intense red precipitate with the
indicator paper, and the intensity of the color is directly
proportional to the amount of aluminum in the solution. The
USP allows a concentration of aluminum ion in an injection 10
micrograms per milliliter (10 μg/ml) in technetium 99m eluate
prepared from Molybdenum 99 formed as a result of uranium
fission.
Simple Procedure: Place a drop of the eluate or solution to be tested on the indicator paper. The best procedure is to form a
hanging drop using a 1922G
needle. Place a drop of the standard aluminum solution on the indicator paper. Use the same
size drop. Compare the intensity of the red spot formed. If the eluate spot is less intense than the standard solution, the
eluate contains less than 10μg/ml aluminum.
Radiopharmaceutical QC Manual
This detailed manual explains Paper Chromatography, a QC method
for evaluating the radiochemical purity of currently used
Tc99mlabeled
radiopharmaceuticals.
Procedures are quick and easy to use, a simple quality control
solution for any nuclear medicine department.
