Temperature impact on [68Ga]Ga-edotreotide for the shipping of radioactive material in shielded container

Abstract

To reduce costs of gallium-68 activity in nuclear medicine, a subcontracting activity has been settled for [68Ga]Ga-edotreotide preparations. Cold kits are radiolabeled in our radiopharmacy and shipped out to nearby hospitals. According to the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC), preparations must be stored below 25 °C until expiration (4 h).
