Description

Strontium Chloride-Sr82 is a high-purity, isotopically enriched inorganic salt, specifically the chloride salt of the radioisotope Strontium-82. This compound is of critical importance in nuclear medicine and radiopharmaceutical production, serving as a key precursor for the synthesis of positron emission tomography (PET) imaging agents. It is primarily required by radiopharmaceutical manufacturers, research institutions, and nuclear medicine facilities for the generation of Rubidium-82 generators used in cardiac PET scans.

Application

• Radiopharmaceutical Precursor: The primary application is as the parent nuclide in the production of Rubidium-82 (82Rb) generators for myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI).
• PET Isotope Production: Serves as a target material or source for the elution of 82Rb, a short-lived positron emitter used in cardiac PET studies.
• Medical Research: Used in preclinical and clinical research involving PET imaging to study cardiovascular diseases and assess coronary artery function.
• Nuclear Medicine: Integral to hospital and clinic-based cardiac stress testing, providing a non-invasive method for diagnosing coronary artery disease.
• Cyclotron Target Material: Can be utilized in related research and production cycles involving proton bombardment for medical isotope generation.
• Quality Control Standards: Acts as a reference standard in analytical laboratories for calibrating equipment used in radiopharmaceutical purity and assay testing.

Quality Control

Our Strontium Chloride-Sr82 is manufactured and controlled under a strict quality management system to meet the exacting standards of the radiopharmaceutical industry. Each batch is analyzed for critical parameters including isotopic enrichment (Sr-82 radionuclidic purity), chemical purity, and radiochemical purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for radionuclidic identity, assay, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, store in a cool, dry place, ideally under controlled room temperature (15-25°C). For long-term stability, consider storage in a desiccator. Handle and store in accordance with all applicable radiation safety regulations and guidelines.
