Description

Fludeoxyglucose F 18 is a positron-emitting radiopharmaceutical used as a diagnostic agent in medical imaging. Its core value lies in its ability to act as a glucose analog, allowing for the visualization and quantification of metabolic activity in tissues via Positron Emission Tomography (PET). This product is essential for oncology, neurology, and cardiology research and clinical diagnostics, providing critical information for tumor detection, Alzheimer's disease assessment, and myocardial viability studies.

Application

• Oncology Imaging: Primary application for the detection, staging, and monitoring of treatment response in various cancers, including lung, breast, and colorectal malignancies.
• Neurological Disorders: Used in PET scans to evaluate brain metabolism for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, and other cognitive disorders.
• Cardiology: Assessment of myocardial viability in patients with coronary artery disease to guide revascularization procedures.
• Clinical Research: A vital tool in pharmaceutical development for evaluating drug efficacy and disease progression in clinical trials.
• Infectious Disease Localization: Aid in localizing sites of infection or inflammation, such as in cases of fever of unknown origin.

Quality Control

Every batch of Fludeoxyglucose F 18 is manufactured and tested under strict quality systems. We ensure compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) and relevant pharmacopeial standards (e.g., USP, Ph. Eur.) for radiopharmaceuticals. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with each shipment, detailing critical parameters such as radiochemical purity, radionuclidic purity, pH, sterility, and bacterial endotoxins.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its radioactive nature and high volatility, it must be stored and handled according to radiation safety protocols. The product is typically supplied as a sterile, pyrogen-free solution and should be used promptly after receipt, as per the expiry defined by its specific radioactivity.
