Re: Radionuclide impurities in Therapeutic Dosages

I agree with Chris in that it is moly-99 that can be eluted. However, 
sodium pertechnitate (which has Tc-99m in it) is used a great deal in the 
nuclear medicine community. It is used for bone scans. Syncor is the company in
this area that produces it from Tc-99 generators. 
As an aside, my research has shown that negligible quantities of Tc-99 are
present in this solution as Mo-99 decays to Tc-99m.

Any responses are requested to be sent to me on private email
