Q

What is done if QC for the RP fails?

A
  • retest
  • if it fails twice, don’t use
  • if multiple kit vials of the same lot fails, contact manufacturer

Q

Goal of TLC?

A

Separate different radiochemical species along length of paper

To analyze counts at different locations on the strip to determine % impurities and % bound rp

17
Q

the degree of ______ and _____ will determine how far the species will travel with the solvent.

A

degree of miscibility and attraction will determine

18
Q

hydrophilic = ?

A

polar, aqueous

19
Q

lipophilic = ?

A

non-polar, organic

20
Q

examples of hydrophilic solvents?

A

saline, water, HCl

21
Q

examples of lipophilic solvents?

A

chemicals ending in “one” or “ol”
acetone, ethanol
chloroform, dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran

22
Q

relative front

A

distance that a radiochemical travels relative to the distance that the solvent travels

23
Q

formula for rf

A

rf = distance travelled by sample/distance travelled by the solvent

24
Q

rf = 0

A

radiochemical species remained at origin

25
Q

rf = 1

A

radiochemical species travelled to the top of the strip with the solvent front

26
Q

rf = 0.5

A

radiochemical species travelled halfway to top of the strip with the solvent front

27
Q

free pert (TcO4-) in chromatography

A

rf = 1 (travels up the solvent front)

28
Q

hydrolyzed reduced (TcO2) in chromatography

A

rf = 0 (stays at origin)

29
Q

“bound” tc-complex is (in/dependent) on solvent used and the characteristics of the rp

A

bound tc-complex is dependent on solvent

30
Q

in an organic solvent:
hydrophilic RP - bound Tc will _______
lipophilic RP - bound Tc will ________

A

organic - hydrophilic “opposite” therefore, stay at origin

organic - lipophilic “like” therefore, will travel to the solvent front

31
Q

in an aqueous solvent:
hydrophilic RP - bound Tc will _______
lipophilic RP - bound Tc will ________

A

aqueous - hydrophilic “like” therefore, will travel to the solvent front

aqueous - lipophilic “opposite” therefore, stay at origin

32
Q

how do we analyze RCP?

A

determination of counts at each location
1) cutting strip into pieces
2) using a radiochromatograph

33
Q

radiochromatograph

A

specialized piece of equipment that scans the length of the strip and forms a graph of the counts at each point

34
Q

formula to determine % bound by two strips in TLC

A

% bound = 100 - %TcO4- - %HR

35
Q

which RPs always stay at the origin?

A

particles - MAA and SC

36
Q

since particles (do/not) travel with any solvent. can we calculate % of HR?

A

particles don’t travel with any solvent
- can’t calculate % HR

37
Q

which RP uses only one strip for TLC? where do you find the bound? where do you find the impurities?

A

Mibi
- bound at solvent front
- impurities at origin

38
Q

which RP uses 3 strips for TLC?

A

HMPAO

39
Q

in solid phase extractions, if the species has an affinity for the solid it will (remain/exit) the cartridge

A

remain inside

40
Q

in solid phase extractions, if the species has an affinity for the solvent it will (remain/exit) the cartridge

A

exit the cartridge
