Abstract:
Disclosed are devices and methods for reducing radiolysis of radiopharmaceuticals during filtration, concentration and purification. The devices comprises two or more confining geometry having a cross-section dimension below the beta(+) or beta(-) range of the radioisotope in use, when containing the radioisotope, and configured in such a way that neighboring geometries are isolated from its nearest neighbor such that no measurable kinetic positron energy transfer occurs between the confining geometries when containing the radioisotope. Methods of filtration of radioisotope containing mixtures are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A method is provided for preparing [ F]2-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose with an anion exchange resin by effecting an exchange reaction between an aqueous solution of [ F]fluoride containing an alkali metal carbonate or bicarbonate, such as sodium bicarbonate, and an anion, such as bicarbonate or carbonate, on the anion exchange resin followed by the displacement reaction with 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-0-trifluoromethanesulfonyl- beta -D-mannopyranose to form the resulting 2-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose tetraacetate. Improved yields of the [ F]2-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose are obtained when the alkali bicarbonate or carbonate is used in the target water.

A method is provided for preparing [18F]2-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose with an anion exchange resin by effecting an exchange reaction between an aqueous solution of [18F]fluoride containing an alkali metal carbonate or bicarbonate, such as sodium bicarbonate, and an anion, such as bicarbonate or carbonate, on the anion exchange resin followed by the displacement reaction with 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-0-trifluoromethanesulfonyl-β-D-mannopyranose to form the resulting 2-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose tetraacetate.
