ABSTRACT:
The invention describes a method for stripping alumina which is particularly suitable for removal of fluoride from alumina and comprises washing said alumina with an aqueous acid or alkali at elevated temperature. The method may be used for removal of unreacted radiofluoride such as [18F]fluoride from alumina following a radiofluorination reaction. Automated synthesis apparatus and cassettes therefor, which are adapted to perform the method are also claimed.
