Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A diagnostic imaging agent useful for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging as well as to improved hardware for producing such imaging agents is described. Flutemetamol (18F) Injection for the imaging of b amyloid plaques in the brain and methods and devices for preparing same are described including the automated synthesis and purification of [18F]flutemetamol by means of solid phase extraction (SPE).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A purification process comprising the following steps: (a) passing a diluted crude product reaction mixture comprising [18F]flutemetamol through a first reverse phase solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridge; (b) washing said first reverse phase SPE cartridge with a water/acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran(THF)/water, methanol(MeOH)/water or isopropanol/water mixture; (c) rinsing said first reverse phase SPE cartridge with water once step (b) is completed…
