<strong>and</strong> <strong>90</strong> Y colloids, both series with a volume ratio of 1:10. For the 186 Re<br />

colloid, radionuclide mobilization is achieved by admixing 65% HNO 3 .<br />

The extent of release of low molecular species from the radiocolloids is<br />

determined using thin layer chromatography (TLC) <strong>and</strong> ultrafiltration after<br />

incubation times of 1 h, 4 h, 24 h, 48 h, 6 d, 9 d, 13 d <strong>and</strong> 15 d.<br />

TLC is per<strong>for</strong>med using 20 cm × 20 cm ITLC SG strips (Varian). The<br />

distribution of radioactivity is measured using a linear radioactivity scanner.<br />

For ultrafiltration, the Ultrafree MC filter with 5000 nominal molecular<br />

weight limit (Millipore) is used. After filtration, probe volumes of 200 µL<br />

are centrifuged <strong>for</strong> 7 h at 5000 U/min (2250g) using the ultracentrifuge<br />

Optima L-70K (Beckman Coulter) <strong>and</strong> the rotor model 70 Ti. Thus, the<br />

free or low molecular radionuclides <strong>90</strong> Y, 186 Re or 169 Er released from<br />

the radiocolloids are detected. Subsequent measurements of both filter<br />

<strong>and</strong> filtrate are per<strong>for</strong>med after centrifugation in a well counter (such as<br />

ISOMED 100, Nuklear-Medizintechnik).<br />

A–8.3. Conclusion<br />

The two independent methods, TLC <strong>and</strong> ultrafiltration/ultracentrifugation,<br />

can differentiate between intact radioactive colloids <strong>and</strong> mobilized radionuclides<br />

with good con<strong>for</strong>mity.<br />
