Automation of the synthesis of [2-carbon-11]thymidine

  • 1. Washington Univ., Seattle, WA (United States)

Description

We have constructed a remote synthesis, using robotics, of [2-11C]thymidine for patient imaging. The total synthesis time is 70 minutes. The typical yield is 13 mCi at EOB or a 13% decay corrected radiochemical yield. This is comparable to the yield we obtain by manual synthesis. The radiochemical purity is typically >99.8%.
