  • Publication number: 20160376040
    Abstract: Radiopharmaceuticals for functional imaging are produced. The manufacturer of the radiopharmaceutical dispenses and packages in unit dosage. The unit dosage package is a standard amount, such as is used in over-the-counter drugs, rather than being patient specific, such as for a filled prescription. The containers with the unit dose are then delivered to the healthcare facility for use or further dispensing. This arrangement allows for pharmacists to be replaced by chemists at the manufacturer since the unit dose may be dispensed and packaged using GMP instead of pharmacy practice. This arrangement results in a different item being delivered to healthcare facilities for functional imaging.

  • Patent number: 8065928
    Abstract: A vented filter is placed at the HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) loop entry port of an HPLC injector valve. The vented filter prevents the push gas used to deliver the crude radiolabeled product from over-pushing the liquid to waste. Push gas is vented off when the entire crude liquid product has passed through the vented filter and been loaded onto the HPLC loop.
