✦ Synopsis

A total of 34 99mTc-generators from eight different manufactures were studied in 1974 and 1975 with regard to their performance and to the quality of the eluates. With some exceptions the generators performed well and proved their ability to act as a reliable source of 99mTc-pertechnetate. Two cases of mechanical malfunction and two cases with a low elution yield of 99mTc were observed. Four generators were overloaded with 99Mo. The 99mTc-pertechnetate did in most cases fulfil the requirements of the Nordic Pharmacopeia.
