โฆ Synopsis
On-line ["Clmethylation using ["Clmethyl iodide has been successfully applied to the preparation of L-[methyl-"Clmethionine ("C-Met). ["C]Methyl iodide is first trapped in a short column that contains Porapak Q and L-homocysteine thiolactone coated on inert support. The column is then charged with NaOH dissolved in a mixture ofethanol and water to cause the ["Clmethylation.
The present method can provide practically pure "C-Met in radiochemical yield of over 98%. The whole procedure including the sterilization of final product has been completely automated for routine PET use.

The routine measurement of L-[methyl-11C]methionine in human plasma after i.v. injection of the tracer is described. The protein-free plasma metabolites of the tracer were analyzed using a cation-exchange column (Aminex A-6) eluted with a pH 4.25 citrate buffer. The ratios of L-[methyl-11C]methionin
## Abstract A fast, clean and reproducible method for the manufacture of the radiotracer Lโ[methylโ^11^C]methionine is reported. The reaction at room temperature of the nonโradioactive precursor Lโhomocysteine (1โmg solution in ethanol/water 50/50) with [^11^C]CH~3~I in an HPLC loop led to the form
