title: Azeotropic drying free [(18)F]FDG synthesis and its application to a lab-on-chip platform.
abstract: A very simple and time-saving cartridge-based drying technique for [(18)F]fluoride allows for an efficient [(18)F]FDG synthesis using protic solvents and high water content. This novel method has been adapted to a lab-on-chip synthesis platform mitigating the standard azeotropic drying process and demonstrating a proof of concept towards reduced hardware complexity for such systems.
