Description

Technetium Tc 99M Dimercaptosuccinic Acid is a diagnostic radiopharmaceutical agent used in nuclear medicine imaging. This compound is critical for the functional assessment of the renal cortex, providing high-resolution images for accurate medical diagnosis. It is primarily utilized by radiopharmacies, hospitals, and diagnostic imaging centers for renal scintigraphy procedures. The agent is prepared by complexing the radioactive isotope Technetium-99m with the chelating ligand dimercaptosuccinic acid.

Application

• Renal Cortical Imaging: The primary application for the detection of renal parenchymal abnormalities, including scars from pyelonephritis.
• Differential Renal Function Assessment: Used to quantify the relative function of each kidney, essential for pre- and post-surgical evaluation.
• Evaluation of Renal Masses: Helps in characterizing space-occupying lesions within the kidney.
• Pediatric Urology: Particularly valuable in children for diagnosing congenital anomalies and vesicoureteral reflux consequences.
• Monitoring Transplanted Kidneys: Assists in the post-operative monitoring of kidney graft function and viability.

Quality Control

Our Technetium Tc 99M Dimercaptosuccinic Acid is manufactured under strict quality systems. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets stringent specifications for radiochemical purity, pH, sterility, and apyrogenicity, adhering to relevant pharmacopoeial standards (e.g., USP, Ph. Eur.). A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store the lyophilized kit at 2-8°C. After reconstitution with sterile Sodium Pertechnetate Tc 99m Injection, the prepared radiopharmaceutical should be used within the time frame specified in the kit instructions. Due to its hygroscopic nature, protect the kit from moisture.
