The synthesis of 18FDG requires the use of a cyclotron to produce 18F from 18O enriched water and
typically utilizes an 18FDG synthesizer. These synthesizers require Kryptofix 222 and Mannose triflat
as starting materials.
Kryptofix is a registered trademark of Merck KGaA. We offer with item 8.14925.0001 a very pure
Kryptofix 222 special quality for the synthesis of FDG. With this quality at hand the medicinal
personnel are able to use the purest Kryptofix 222 available, which ultimately is safer for the patients
that get an injection of FDG.
