โฆ Synopsis
A 82Sr/82Rb generator system is described which is shown to be suitable for continuous intravenous infusion in man. The breakthrough of the 82Sr parent has been closely monitored and remained less than 18.5 Bq mL-1 of infusate. A method using a 0.05% solution of sodium hypochlorite to disinfect the generator resulted in a sterile and pyrogen free eluate. Recommendations are made for the setting up of the generator to ensure the maintenance of its pharmaceutical integrity.

Static (dose calibrator) assays of 82Rb bolus yield erroneous estimates of administered activity by ignoring the asymmetric output of 82Sr/82Rb generators. Though on-line monitoring of elution profile improves accuracy for quantitative purposes, it requires an elaborately shielded detector and assoc
