Emulsion Reactors: A New Technique for the Preparation of Molecular Imaging Probes

Emulsions for labeling: A new strategy for the preparation of radiolabeled compounds with the use of emulsions was developed. This biocompatible platform demonstrated enhanced yields for labeling biovectors with 99mTc, 18F, and 68Ga. Enhancements included reduction in the amount of starting material required, a decrease in the number of radiochemical impurities, and the ability to perform reactions at room temperature.
