MON.TEK Mo99/Tc99m Generator

Content

Mother nuclide: Sodium Molibdate (Na⁹⁹M_oO₄) 5-50 GBq/ Generator (Mo-99 radioactivity at calibration date)Daughter nuclide: (^99mTc) Sodium Pertechnetate (Na^99mTcO₄) (derived from ⁹⁹Mo/^99mTc generator system)

Description

MON.TEK ⁹⁹Mo/^99mTc generator contains fission Molibdenium-99 (⁹⁹Mo) adsorbed by aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) in a glass column. Technetium-99m (^99mTc) formed by the decay of ⁹⁹Mo, is a radiactive isotope having a half life of 6.007 hours. After eluting by 0.9% NACl solution, ^99mTc Sodium Pertechnetate solution which is isotonic, colourless, clear, sterile, non-pyrogenic and suitable for I.V. injection is obtained. (^99mTc) Sodium Pertechnetate solution can be administrated to the patients directly as a diagnostic agent or for labeling the kits.
