[\u00b9\u00b9C]methyl iodide and [\u00b9\u00b9C]methyl triflate were produced in the TRACERlab FXC Pro synthesis box. Methylation reactions and the final formulation were performed using the AutoLoop (captive solvent method) and the ReFORM-plus systems, respectively. — Good radiochemical yields (51.3 \u00b1 11.2 and 32.9 \u00b1 6.6%, referred to as [\u00b9\u00b9C]methyl iodide, decay corrected)
