title: Highlighting the Versatility of the Tracerlab Synthesis Modules. Part 1: Fully Automated Production of [F]Labelled Radiopharmaceuticals using a Tracerlab FX(FN).
abstract: The field of radiochemistry is moving towards exclusive use of automated synthesis modules for production of clinical radiopharmaceutical doses. Such a move comes with many advantages, but also presents radiochemists with the challenge of re-configuring synthesis modules for production of radiopharmaceuticals that require non-conventional radiochemistry whilst maintaining full automation. This review showcases the versatility of the Tracerlab FX(FN) synthesis module by presenting simple, fully automated methods for producing [(18)F]FLT, [(18)F]FAZA, [(18)F]MPPF, [(18)F]FEOBV, [(18)F]sodium fluoride, [(18)F]fluorocholine and [(18)F]SFB.
