Preparation of 95mTc radiotracer

Several procedures for preparation of the 95mTc radiotracer following irradiation of a thin Mo target with deuterons were tested. The procedures consisting of alkaline-oxidative fusion of the irradiated target in a mixture of Na2O2 + NaOH and subsequent liquid–liquid extraction with 2-butanone, and acid decomposition of the target in a mixture of H2SO4 + HNO3 followed by extraction chromatography with PAN-Aliquat 336 composite material appeared suitable for the given purpose.
