Four different methods for determining the radiochemical purity (RCP) of 99 Tc m-sestamibi
have been proposed to replace the recommended thin-layer chromatography (TLC) method …

Objective: Measurement of cardiac perfusion via agents such as 99mTc-sestamibi
(Cardiolite; DuPont-Merck Pharmaceutical Co., Inc.) is widely used in clinical nuclear …

A high radiochemical purity (RCP) is recommended for radiopharmaceutical compounds
used in the clinical practice of nuclear medicine. However, some preparations of 99mTc …

The thin layer chromatographic (TLC) method for determining the radiochemical purity of 99
Tc m-sestamibi suggested by the manufacturer of the kit is slow and inconvenient. In this …

The reconstitution of fractionated Cardiolite® kits with sodium 99 Tc m-pertechnetate eluted
from a wet-column 99 Mo/99 Tc m generator results in a preparation that contains elevated …

Our nuclear pharmacy noted that 99mTc-sestamibi kits sometimes failed radiochemical
purity (RCP) testing (ie, RCP< 90%). All failed kits had been prepared with eluate from a …

A miniaturized rapid paper chromatographic technique (MRPC) for quality control of a
technetium-99m sestamibi preparation was developed and compared with the …

Our nuclear pharmacy has reported that a failed radiochemical purity (RCP)(ie, RCP< 90%)
of 99mTc-sestamibi may be associated with the use of a first elution at later stages from a …

Determining the radiochemical purity (RCP) of technetium-99m (99mTc)
radiopharmaceuticals using the method described in the package insert is a time-consuming …
