摘要
[13N]NH3 prepared by irradiating dilute aqueous ethanol with 10 MeV protons is contaminated with small amounts of [18F]fluoride and [13N]NO2 -/NO3 -. The content of 18F is negligible at end of bombardment but increases as a function of time due to the longer half-life of 18F. We developed a simple on-line purification method in which the irradiated water directly passes through a small anion exchange column. Both the radionuclidic impurity [18F]fluoride and the radiochemical impurities [13N]NO3 -/NO2 - are efficiently removed by this procedure which results in highly pure (>99.9%) [13N]NH3 preparations. © 1995.
