Abstract
The preparation of 99mTc(Sn)MDP was investigated as a function of pH, MDP concentration and Sn(II) concentration. The labeling efficiency was over 90% in the majority of the experiments and remained constant over the range pH 2-9. The MDP concentration had little effect, while the Sn(II) concentration had a significant positive influence. The complex formation appeared to be partly reversible. The formation of different complexes was investigated by means of gel chromatography under various experimental conditions. Altogether six complexes were found. At acid conditions two major complexes were found and at neutral pH one major complex. The presence or absence of a particular complex was mainly determined by the pH and by the MDP concentration. The Sn(II) concentration had very little effect. The results are compared with previous results of similar experiments with 99mTc(Sn)pyrophosphate.
