Abstract: A method of manufacturing a plating solution comprising a platinum (II) complex, comprising the steps of: (i) preparing an acidic aqueous solution comprising a chloride-free platinum (IV) compound and a source of nitrous acid (HNO2) as a reducing agent; (ii) heating the solution from step (i) in order to promote the reduction of platinum (IV) to platinum (II) and decomposition of residual nitrous acid. Also described is a platinum plating solution produced by this process.

Abstract: A diagnostic imaging agent useful for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging as well as to improved hardware for producing such imaging agents is described. Flutemetamol (18F) Injection for the imaging of ?-amyloid plaques in the brain and methods and devices for preparing same are described including the automated synthesis and purification of [18F]flutemetamol by means of solid phase extraction (SPE).

Abstract: The invention provides the use of a radiation source which is a low energy X-ray emitter, e.g. with an energy of emission of the principal photon in the range of 20 to 100 keV, preferably 20 to 40 keV and with a half life of 10 to 100 days, preferably 15 to 70 days, for the treatment of restenosis. Suitable radioisotopes include palladium-103, dysprosium-159, samarium-145, cadmium-109, ytterbium-169 and preferably iodine-125. High activity radioactive bodies and sources comprising such radioisotopes, and methods for the manufacture of such sources, are also disclosed.
