Determination of the chemical and radiochemical purity and specific radioactivity of [18F]FDG by HPLC

Description

High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in combination with the radioactivity detection is the best control method for the radiochemical purity of [18F]FDG. An anion exchange separation mechanism allows isocratic separation of carbohydrates. Using a strong basic eluent, the weakly acid carbohydrates form anions and are therefore retained on the anion exchange resin. The chemical and radiochemical purity and specific radioactivity can be determined simultaneously by including in the chromatographic system a mass detector sensitive, enough for quantitative determination of the product species.
