(beta-Hydroxyethyl)tri([C-11]methyl)ammonium ([C-11]choline) is a tracer very effective in imaging various human tumors using positron emission tomography (PET). We have constructed a computer-controlled [C-11]choline synthetic apparatus which carries out the whole process of synthesis and product purification automatically. The setup is simple and the process quick. In 20 min, 11 GBq of [C-11]choline (chloride) is obtainable from 26 GBq of [C-11]CO2. The final product is a sterile and pyrogen-free [C-11]choline "injection". (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
