Storage and stability of compounds labelled with radioisotopes — part II

Abstract

A further review is presented which summarises and comments on recent progress concerning decomposition and control of the self-radiolysis of compounds labelled with radioisotopes. Organic compounds labelled with the radioisotopes carbon-14, hydrogen-3 (tritium), sulphur-35, and phosphorus-32 are dealt with principally, together with some problems concerning their analysis and the effect on their use of the presence of impurities. Tables for the self-radiolysis rates of a number of groups of compounds are included.
