Method for obtaining a 2- ¹⁸F fluor-2-deoxy-D-glucose ¹⁸F-FDG-solution

摘要

The invention relates to a method for improving one or more physical/chemical characteristics, like reduced radiolysis of and the ability to autoclave, a 18F-fluor-deoxy-glucose (18F-FDG)-solution, which method comprises the steps of a) provision of a 18F-fluor-deoxy-glucose (18F-FDG)-solution, and b) addition of at least one buffer based on a weak acid to the 18F-fluor-deoxy-glucose (18F-FDG)-solution. The invention also relates to a method for preparing a sterile 18F-fluor-deoxy-glucose (18F-FDG)-solution by autoclaving said 18F-fluor-deoxy-glucose (FDG)-solution.
