Stannous salts are used as reducing agents in many radiopharmaceutical kits. Differential pulse polarography, with 1 M sulfuric acid as the supporting electrolyte, is a relatively simple and effective technique for stannous quantitation and can be used in the quality assurance testing of pyrophospha

β¦ Synopsis
A simple and inexpensive method for the estimation of stannous ion, Sn (II), in radiopharmaceutical kits is described. The method used is a potentiometric titration of Sn (II) in 1 N HCI medium, using potassium iodate as the oxidizing agent in an atmosphere of nitrogen. The apparatus includes pH meter, a platinum electrode, and a simple titration cell. Several commonly used radiopharmaceutical kits were analyzed for their Sn (II) content using this method. These studies indicate that the procedure can be used, as a routine quantitative test for the Sn (II) content of various 99mTc-labeled radiopharmaceuticals.

The in vivo 99mTc-RBC labelling efficiency and stability of labelling was assessed after pretinning with a high-stannous content DTPA kit (Sn DTPA) in comparison with Sn-pyrophosphate (Sn PPi) and a low-stannous DTPA kit (DTPA). The distribution in Sprague Dawley rats showed that similar fractions o
