99mTc bone scanning agents--V. Influence of experimental conditions on the labeling efficiency and gel chromatography of 99mTc(Sn)HMDP.
The preparation of 99mTc(Sn)HMDP was investigated as a function of pH, Sn(II) and ligand concentration. HMDP could be labeled efficiently from pH 2-9. The Sn(II) and the ligand concentrations had a beneficial influence. The composition of the radiopharmaceutical under various experimental conditions was studied by means of gel chromatography on Biogel P-4. Six different complexes were found. A preparation consisted of maximally three major complexes. The presence of a particular complex was mainly determined by pH and ligand concentration. The Sn(II) concentration had little influence.
