Abstract
A novel HPLC method was developed and validated to determine radiochemical identity, radiochemical purity and chemical purity for the analysis of O-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl-l-tyrosine ([18F]FET). In this method, an analytical Phenomenex Gemini C18 column was used with an isocratic eluent of 7 % ethanol and 93 % 50 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH = 6.9). The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min and the injection volume was 10 μL. A photo-diode array detector set at 220 nm was used for UV mass detection and a single channel, high sensitivity radiation detector was used. The method validation assays including specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, and robustness were evaluated. Results show that the method was suitable for qualitative and quantitative determination of radiochemical and chemical purity of [18F]FET. This system has been routinely used for the analysis of more than 120 batches of [18F]FET with radiochemical yield 23.7 ± 6 % (no decay corrected) and molar activity 593 ± 284 GBq/μmole in our facility to support human use.
