ELECTROCHEMICAL SEPARATION OF [18F] FLUORIDE FROM [180] WATER

摘要

A method of electrochemically separating [<SUP>18</SUP>F] fluoride from [<SUP>18</SUP>O] water comprising a device that encompasses two or more electrodes, wherein said device allows entry and exit of solutions within a chamber wherein an electric field is applied over said electrodes whereby the electrodes consist of an electrode material wherein the electrode material inhibits electrochemical reactions of precursors from reacting thus forming nucleophilic [<SUP>18</SUP>F] fluoride solutions. The present invention also provides for an apparatus for separating [<SUP>18</SUP>F] fluoride from [<SUP>18</SUP>O] water. Kit claims for separating [<SUP>18</SUP>F] fluoride from [<SUP>18</SUP>O] water are also provided
