Abstract :
[en] The 18F labeling of radiopharmaceuticals requires nearly anhydrous solutions of [18F]fluoride.
Aqueous K2CO3 is generally used to elute [18F]fluoride from an anion-exchange resin. Replacing aqueous K2CO3 with strong organic bases, such as the phosphazene base P2Et enabled the recovery of highly reactive [18F]fluoride and avoided the azeotropic evaporation of water, which is
very difficult on a microchip device.
