Abstract
A fast kit method was developed for the production of Sm-153-EDTMP in two steps avoiding the use of nitric acid, evaporation and sterilizati on of the final solution by autoclave. Methods of analysis for the det ermination of chemical and radiochemical purity in the radiopharmaceut ical solution were established. Factors affecting radiochemical purity and stability of the complex as the molar ratio of EDTMP/Sm, concentr ation of phosphate buffer and neutralization of EDTMP prior kit prepar ation were also analyzed. The use of this radiopharmaceutical in rabbi ts and patients showed selective skeletal uptake.
