Summary: | In this report the use of a simple colorimetric assay employing the bisthiosemicarbazone (TSC) derivative of phenylglyoxal to evaluate the specific activity of spallation-produced copper-67 (Cu-67) samples is described. Four samples from the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and one sample from the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) were analyzed and the results compared in a blind study'' with specific activity values obtained by isotope coupling plasma (ICP) analysis at the production sites. A good comparison was found, and these results indicate that the TSC approach is a simple, inexpensive, and rapid technique to determine the specific activity of spallation-produced Cu-67. The synthesis, radioiodination, and evaluation of deiodination in rats in vivo of two new maleimide agents for antibody labeling is also described. 3 figs., 1 tab. |
