Stability of tritiated thymidine

[Arvic Harms <Arvic.Harms@npl.co.uk>]

Dear all,



Does anybody has information on the stability of tritiated thymidine? I

am aware that tritium bound to carbon is not very labile, but there may

be a possibility that HTO will form after prolonged storage (i.e., a few

years).



Regards,
