Study on the stability of MAG 3

Tc 9 sup 9 sup m -MAG 3 ([(N-(N-(N-(mercaptoacetyl) glycyl)glycyl) glycinato (2-) N, N', N sup , S) oxo technetate (2-)]) was prepared for a good renal imaging agent. The two chromatographic methods for analysis of radiochemical purity investigated that the kit could be used with sodium pertechnetate (Technetium-9 sup 9 sup m) up to 25 mCi, volume 2-5 ml and the Tc9 sup 9 sup m -MAG 3 complex reached maximum at 15 mins. The shelf life of the complex and the expiry date of the kit were 4 hrs and 6 months respectivily.
