Objectives: Often peptides used in synthesis of radiopharmaceutical PET tracers are lipophilic and adhere to the walls of container closure systems (CCS) such that costly peptide and product are not fully recoverable after synthesis occurs. This investigation compares a standard United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Type I borosilicate glass CCS to a cyclic polyolefin copolymer Crystal Zenith (CZ) CCS, for Ga-68-chloride and Ga-68-DOTATOC ([Ga-68] Ga-DOTA-D-Phe1-Tyr3-octreotide) retention in the reaction vial after labeling.Methods: (68)Gallium labeling of DOTATOC was conducted by adding Ga-68-chloride, 2 M HEPES (4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-l-ethanesulfonic acid) or 0.75 M sodium acetate, and 1-30 mu g of DOTATOC into the CZ or glass CCS. The reaction mixture was heated for 15 min and cooled to room temperature. The crude reaction mixture was then withdrawn via syringe, for final processing. The CCS was then assayed using a dose calibrator to determine the amount of retained Ga-68-DOTATOC. Statistical significance was assessed using an unpaired Students t-test.Results: In all experiments (n=72) with various amounts of peptide and different buffering systems, the CZ CCS retained less activity than the glass CCS. Using 2 M HEPES and 15 mu g or 30 mu g of DOTATOC, the CZ CCS retained approximately 10% less of the labeled DOTATOC compared to the glass CCS (p < 0.05). Utilizing either a sodium acetate or a HEPES buffering system with 15 mu g or 30 mu g of DOTATOC, the CZ CCS retained approximately 2.5% less of the total reaction activity compared to the glass CCS (p < 0.05). Product yield was equivalent in glass and CZ CCS under the same reaction conditions. Both the CZ and glass vials showed no retention of Ga-68-chloride.Conclusion: For applications involving the labeling of peptides such as Ga-68-DOTATOC, the CZ CCS compared to the glass CCS, results in an improved recovery of product.
