Christian, who was a professor in the School of Pharmacy at Purdue University, had written articles and contributed in other ways to set the stage of nuclear pharmacy.
A nuclear pharmacist adds anywhere from 50 - 100 mCi of Na[99m TcO 4] to the reaction vial to make the final product, in the pH range of 3.8 to 8.0. After being allowed to react at room temperature for 15 minutes to ensure maximum labeling of the human albumin with 99m Tc, the kit can then be diluted with sterile normal saline as needed.
