A simple method for checking the proper functioning of a thin-layer radiochromatograph for radiochemical purity control of radiopharmaceuticals.
Thin-layer radiochromatography is used for carrying out radiochemical purity control of gamma-emitter radiopharmaceuticals by using thin-layer radiochromatography scanners. It has been developed and implemented a simple method for validating the proper functioning of these instruments. This method helps to ensure accurate results in the radiochemical purity controls of gamma-emitter radiopharmaceuticals.
