Abstract: Aluminum, boron and silicon were identified as potential leachables from borosilicate glassware and a silica based QMA during handling of aqueous 18F. The addition of only 0.4 ppm aluminum as AlCl3 in the eluent vial resulted in a strong reduction in the labeling yield of a model [18F]fluoride SN2 reaction (from 80 to 40% incorporation). The addition of boron as KBO2 and silicon as NaSiO3 did not result in any significant decrease in labeling yield. Interestingly, there was an interaction effect between AlCl3 and KBO2 in which the negative effect from AlCl3 on labeling yield was counteracted by KBO2. The present invention demonstrates that aluminum and boron from borosilicate glassware have a strong influence on the labeling yield in nucleophilic SN2 reactions with n.c.a [18F]fluoride.

Abstract: A laser remote sensing apparatus comprises a laser to provide collimated excitation light at a wavelength; a sensing optic, comprising at least one optical element having a front receiving surface to focus the received excitation light onto a back surface comprising a target sample and wherein the target sample emits a return light signal that is recollimated by the front receiving surface; a telescope for collecting the recollimated return light signal from the sensing optic; and a detector for detecting and spectrally resolving the return light signal. The back surface further can comprise a substrate that absorbs the target sample from an environment. For example the substrate can be a SERS substrate comprising a roughened metal surface. The return light signal can be a surface-enhanced Raman signal or laser-induced fluorescence signal. For fluorescence applications, the return signal can be enhanced by about 105, solely due to recollimation of the fluorescence return signal. For SERS applications, the return signal can be enhanced by 109 or more, due both to recollimation and to structuring of the SERS substrate so that the incident laser and Raman scattered fields are in resonance with the surface plasmons of the SERS substrate.
