Labeling proteins at high specific activity using N-succinimidyl 4-[18F](fluoromethyl) benzoate

Appl Radiat Isot. 1997 Feb;48(2):169-73. doi: 10.1016/s0969-8043(96)00151-0.

Abstract

High effective specific activity N-succinimidyl 4-[18F](fluoromethyl)benzoate was prepared using a reversed phase HPLC procedure. Reversed phase HPLC removed several additional impurities not removed by normal phase HPLC, thereby increasing the effective specific activity. Small amount (< 100 micrograms) of sensitive proteins such as erythropoietin can be labeled with this reagent in high yield without aggregation.
