Counting statistics: Typical standard deviation of the mean for repeated activity determinations (N = 7 or 57 for 18F; N = 45 to 102 for 64Cu) on a single source on a single measurement run (averaged over 2 sources for 18F; average of 4 runs with 3 sources; one source measured on two occasions, with recovered activity consistent to 0.03 % for 64Cu) |

Estimated by combining the typical difference on the activities recovered with a linear and a quadratic extrapolation (0.27 % for 18F; 0.32 % for 64Cu) with the standard deviation of intercept values obtained with different gamma gates for 18F or the standard deviation on the activity recovered from a linear extrapolation using domains of N = 7 to 12 efficiency points (0.06 %) for 64Cu. |
