| Module | Cassette | Purification | Yield % | RCP % | Precursor / supplier | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TRACERlab MX GE HealthCare | vendor cassette | none | 3.8±1.2% yes | 98±1% | Talose triflate (1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-O-trifluoromethanesulfonyl-β-D-talopyranose) ABX | 21531284 2011 Nucl Med Biol The radiofluorination was performed in the commercially available system TRACERlab MX (GEMS, Uppsala, Sweden) including basic hydrolysis. — The radiochemical yield of the transformation of Talose triflate into FDGal by the present method was hence limited to 3.8±1.2% (decay corrected; 42 productions). |

How this set was arrived at. base set per Ph. Eur. general monograph 0125 (rule); weak UV chromophore (sugar/simple ion/short-chain acid) -> conductometric detection (rule); organic-phase radiosynthesis assumed from isotope/compound class, no synthesis data confirming it -> GC residual solvents (preliminary); conventional nucleophilic 18F-fluorination assumed from isotope/compound class, no synthesis data confirming K222 use -> Kryptofix test (preliminary)
