Radiopharm Flashcards
Reducing agent
Substance that reduces another substance, by itself being oxidized
Chelating agent
a substance who molecules can form several bonds to a single metal ion.
ligand
a group ion or molecule coordinated to a central atom or molecule
antioxidant
a substance that inhibits ocidation or rxns promoted by oxygen, peroxides, or free radicals
oxidizing agent
a substance that gains electrons electrons in a chemical rxn, usually transfers oxygen to a substrate.
Hydrolyzed-Reduced Tc-99m
Particulate inpurity taht is insoluble Tc99 dioxide and/or Tc99m tin colloid
Free Tc99m
radionuclide that did not bind to the desired ligand.
Moly breakthrough
must be less than 0.15 microcuries per mCi of Tc-99m at the time of injection
