RESUMO

Stannous chloride (SnCl2.2H2O) is the major compound used for reduction of generator-derived 99mTc-pertechnetate in cold kits for on site preparation of 99mTc-radiopharmaceuticals. These cold kits usually contain a ligand, stannous chloride, and different additives. Various techniques were described for tin determination, but they cannot distinguish between stannous (Sn(II)) and stannic (Sn(IV)) ions in solutions. The two methods described in literature for selective determination of Sn(II) are polarography and mass analysis (redox-titration). Polarography is a good selective method in the mg range as well as in the g range for Sn(II) and Sn(IV) (0.06-1,0mg). Titrimetric analysis was performed for quantification of Sn(II) in Sn(II) reagents and in 3 consecutive lots of 9 radiopharmaceutical cold kits produced by IPEN-CNEN/SP, using Ce(SO4)2.4H2O 0.1 mol L-1, diluted 10 times and, I2 0.05 mol L-1, diluted 10, as a titrant solution. Differential pulse polarography was chosen with a conventional three-electrode configuration consisting of a static mercury drop electrode, an AgCl/Ag (saturated KCl) reference electrode and a platinum wire auxiliary electrode. The potential was swept from 250 to 800 mV and the current (A) was measured at 370 mV and 470 mV potentials for Sn(II) in H2SO4 3 mol L-1 and Sn(IV) in HCl 3 mol L-1, respectively. The supporting electrolytes were deaerated during 5 min with 5.0 nitrogen gas before and after each sample addition. For total tin determination the oxidation of tin (II) was carried out in the same vial, by adding H2O2 at 37 ± 5 ºC, for 5 min to quantify tin (IV). The developed polarographic method showed to be adequate to quantify tin (II), in the presence of tin (IV), in analyzed radiopharmaceutical cold kits.
