Radio labelling of peptides for PET, SPECT and therapeutic applications using a fully automated disposable cassette system

Abstract

Objectives Radio labelled somatostatin analogues have found wide clinical use in nuclear medicine for both diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Here, we describe the development of a fully automated synthesis system allowing radiolabelling of 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA)-derivatized peptides with (68)Ga/(111)In/(177)Lu and (90)Y, meeting radiation safety and. pharmaceutical requirements.
