title: Characterization of technetium radiopharmaceuticals by thin-layer spectroelectrochemistry.
abstract: Optically transparent thin-layer electrode (OTTLE) techniques have been used to characterize technetium complexes of biomedical importance. Different Tc oxidation states have been generated at the electrodes and absorption spectra determined. Small cell volumes allow the study of materials available in small quantities, and a flow cell configuration has also been used. Heart and bone imaging agents have been studied.
