The performance of a commercially produced (62)Zn/(62)Cu microgenerator system,
and an associated kit-based radiopharmaceutical synthesis method, was evaluated
for clinical site production of [(62)Cu]Cu-ETS (ethylglyoxal
bis(thiosemicarbazonato)copper(II)), an investigational agent for PET perfusion
imaging. Using 37 generators, containing 1.84ą0.23 GBq (62)Zn at 9:00 AM on the
day of clinical use, a total of 45 patient doses of [(62)Cu]Cu-ETS (672ą172 MBq)
were delivered without difficulty. (62)Cu elution yields were high (approximately
90%), accompanied by extremely low (62)Zn breakthrough (<0.001%).
Radiopharmaceutical preparation, from the start-of-elution to time-of-injection,
consumed less than five minutes. The (62)Zn/(62)Cu microgenerator was a
dependable source of short-lived positron-emitting (62)Cu, and the kit-based
synthesis proved to be rapid, robust, and highly reliable for "on-demand"
delivery of [(62)Cu]Cu-ETS for PET perfusion imaging.
