METHOD FOR LABELLING SUBSTANCES CONTAINING AMINO GROUPS, INCLUDING CELLS SUCH AS BLOOD CELLS, WITH <99m>Tc AND KIT FOR CARRYING OUT THIS METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a method for labelling substances, including cells such as blood cells, which contain one or more amino groups, with a radioisotope, the substance to be labelled being combined in the presence of a reductor with <99m>TcO4 ions and the reductor used being at least one borohydride, to a kit for carrying out said method, which kit comprises at least a container, which contains a freeze-dried mixture of a borohydride, a tin(II) salt and a buffer, and to a freeze-dried mixture at least consisting of borohydride, tin(II) salt and buffer for use in labelling reactions.
