Abstract

A series of changes and updatings to the [18F]FDG setup of the Anatech RB-86 robotic system are described. They include improved [18O]H2O recovery, "one-pot" reaction, elimination of the SPE step and base-assisted hydrolysis. Considerations on this last point are also reported. Thus, a remarkable improvement in the radiochemical yield, which is now 81% (decay corrected to SOS) with a synthesis time of just 40 minutes, has been achieved. The influence of several different reaction vessel materials on the synthesis is also briefly examined.
