1 Fresh sodium pertechnetate (not older than 2 h) obtained by generator eluted not more than 24 h before. 2 Fresh sodium pertechnetate obtained by generator (generator not older than 1 week from manufacturing) eluted not more than 24 h before. Where not specified, the incubation temperature during the synthesis, inside the isolator, was detected by our measurement. Finally, the production process of 99mTc-radiopharmaceuticals is constantly subjected to the Fill average test.
