AB We performed radiochromatographic analysis of four commercial MDP bone kits to evaluate their performance under normal and less favorable conditions. Specifically, we evaluated the effects of (1) varying the type of storage container, (2) adding 3 cc of room air, and (3) adding high amounts of Tc-99m (400 mCi). Results indicate that the four commercial MDP kits were stable in vials and syringes up to 6 hr after preparation, but those kits containing ascorbate were better able to withstand the stress of high levels of radioactivity (400 mCi), storage in syringe, and addition of air.
