Abstract: The present invention relates to a stabilized kit for the preparation of a radiopharmaceutical. In particular, the present invention relates to the use of a non-aqueous solvent for the stabilisation of the ligand component of the kit.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparing a bisphosphonate covalently bonded to a nanostructure. This invention also relates to a bisphosphonate having incorporated therein a radioisotope selected from 32p or 33P, preferably 33p, wherein the bisphosphonate is covalently bonded to a nanostructure directly or by way of a linker, and to the use thereof in a method of treating calcific tumours in a patient.

Abstract: A method of and apparatus for the determination of the standard tensile yield point in which the extension of a test body is monitored, comprises determining in the course of continuous extension within the elastic limit, the ratio of the instantaneous extension and the associated load, storing this ratio and in the course of further continuous extension the ratios of a given residual extension as well as that of the instantaneous extension and the instantaneous load are determined, the stored ratio value is summed with the ratio of the given residual extension and the instantaneous load, and the thus obtained sum is compared with the ratio of the instantaneous load whereby the instantaneous load at which the compared values become substantially equal gives the tensile yield stress at the given residual.
